Hi, I could not think which forum to post this is so have put it in General, but if any mods think it should be elsewhere, please feel free to move it accordingly.
I have noticed that my plant leaves get dirty ! I dont understand why. I have good flow, I do 50% water changes twice a week, I dont pull the plants up that much and mess around, the water seems clear. And yet older leaves seem to have a film of dirt on them. New leaves grow and emerge and are fine but then get dirty over a period of time. And it wont come off many of the leaves, but seems to wipe off some of them.
I have colombo florabase capped with unipac fine gravel (1 to 2mm grain size). I wondered if this was dusty and this dust gets somehow sucked up ? The reason I think its dirt is that when I had my previous Eheim filter on, after only 10 days the floss pad was dark brown !
Can anyone help, or ask me more questions to ascertain what it might me ? I REALLY want to have pristine plants in my tank. I have good growth and yet this dirt.
