crypt undulatus green going red/pink

[Mark Evans]

Any thought on why this may be happening?

I've grown it many times, and it grows tall, and green.

I've changed to tobias' ferts, and their now growing with a nice pink/ redish tinge.

The other brown variety crypts are the deepest of red/brown.

Hi Mark
Could it be the urea in the mix :?:
On that point have these ferts/mix had any effect on your livestock :?:

Thanks Mark
Ive got the dry powders for Tobi's mix but Ive only added 1 gram of urea as I was worried about the affects it may have on my fish.
I will up the urea and see if I get similar results in my planted tank only.... no fish are resident.
I dont have my lights on that long only 5/6 hours a day but the plants are all doing well and seem healthy enough.
