hi guys
The ends of leaves on Blyxa have gone stringy and gone to mush, could this be too much light?
its a pure white bulb in a wall mounted lamp about a foot above the tank.
bulb: 40Watt
Co2: Diy
Ferts: 2ml TPN+ daily
Tank: Clearseal 18"x12"x12"


Cheers

it could be just the posting and moving.
or it'll be co2 levels, i ran pressurized co2 pretty high levels.

the light in my tank was
a 30 something watt t8 on for 10 hours,
2x54w t5 for 8 hours
an "midday burst" of another 2x 54w t5
so it was pretty high!!

hopefully they will just melt a bit and bounce back again.
 
when i first got some it melted badly.ok now.if you've only just got it give it time to settle in.
 
yeah Baron Von bubba sent it me the other day, will see if it just the posting that done it if not then will up the co2 if thats the issue
