Hi all
The older leaves of my Echinodorus bleheri are getting some kind of black rusty algae on the edge of tle leaves.
The rest of the leave seems to have some green spots algae.
I already have some of this one my anubias together with green spots also.
I read about the ilumination, that creates this type of algae.
I have 0,78W/L. Have 2 T5 4200 and 6500 39W lamps for about 100 liters of usuful tank.
Also read about raising the phosphate help to control this.
I started E.I dosing about 3 weeks with the follow on every other day:
15ml 3 times a week of macros
10ml 3 times a week for micros ( 5g of APFUK’s Chelated Trace Elements for 250ml of water)
50% water change
This is a good recipe for a medium planted tank with some load of fish?
This is the leaves with the rusty algae:
