Hi all,
I'm dosing with full EI method for like one month until now. Hygrophila costata is growing like crazy, also hair grass. Crypt's are doing well but my Alternanthera rosaefolia and Ludwigia sp red are having deformed and small new leaves, looks like some deficiency.
At he beginning they all started growing good. Than I was testing my GH and KH which were 14 both and decided to go with mixing RO water and tap water to hold it around 6 or 7. After that deficiency started. What can it be?
Maybe I need to up the dose a little, or I'm putting to much because my plants are not filled in yet?
Also I have started dosing Excel flourish two days ago, hope that it will help.
Aquarium is 29 gal.
I have strong led light, CO2 is lime green from lights on already, PH drops 0.8 morning and around 1 during day. I have good flow in aquarium, was giving a lot of attention to this because at beginning I had some algae problems, still have a little of staghorn on hair grass but they are dying already from excel.
Right now I'm using two canister filters. One is Eheim 1050lph, another sera 750lph I use like co2 reactor, with spray bar which is on the back wall and spraying into the glass with small down angle so all the plants are gently weaving there. There are no dead spots in aquarium.
ps: I accidentally started this post on another forum second ago butt wanted it here
