Greetings everyone,
I have had two attempts at growing ludwigia 'mini super red' from in-vitro in one of my hi tech tanks. Both times the plant would simply turn brown and die off. I have had great success with samples that were put into a low tech tank, but in my hi tech tank I have had no such luck. Anybody got any ideas or similar issues?
Details: Juwel Rio, Tropica soil, iQuatics quad T5 lighting, CO2 Art system [in tank] diffuser, EI dosing, temp 26 degrees C, 6 hour photo-period. I don't know much about the water chemistry, but I've got some testing equipment. I can grow many other plants, but I also lost all of my bucephalandra specimens due to melt at around the same time. I don't mind getting a pH-redox probe, or possibly measuring the ammonia etc. The tank has cycled for about 4 months.
