I have lost all my original crypts completely due to to intermittent melting over the last 6 months. Initially they seemed to do well but they became weaker and and weaker as I pruned off the melting leaves.
I used EI and FE co2. Recently I have switched to tpn+, 180l tank, 10mls daily. This is a recent change and I'm just trying something different as I've had a few problems.
By the way I have recently made changes that has I hope improved my flow by adding another filter bringing my total rated flow to 2350lph which is more likely closer to 1250lph. If co2 is the problem then this may be a solution.
My question is do crypts require root tabs if you provide enough ferts in the water column? Could this be an reason I have had problems keeping them healthy?
