	Sean's Victoria Waterlily Photo Journal "2001"
		It looks like a few of the earlier sprouted Victoria seedlings were a little sensitive to the treatment but I expect to see them bounce back soon.
		A week ago the Victoria's looked like they were running out of steam and I knew I should have boosted them but I have been so busy with work I never had a chance to get around to them.
		At the current rate of growth over the last week I will have to place the Victoria's into their own tank and boost them before they start sending roots out of the small pots they are in.
