aHi! I've read here help! with glossotigma that excessive flow can cause CO2 uptake problem. So, I think my glossostigmas are suffering from the same issue! Maybe I have too much flow and they aren't catching enough CO2 and presenting CO2 deficiency problems like glassy leaves. But I haven't sure. Another cause could be iron deficience? Check this video that shows my flow over my glossos:
Here is a picture that shows more details. Repare the glassy leaves. Only the new leaves are affected. I'm dosing 2x macronutrients standard EI + micros (in alternated days). I was doing a micronutrient solution (1 L) with my very soft tap water. But I'll begin to dose the dry powder directly in the tank from next week. Also some of the glossos are leggy. I've recently cut the top of the plant and replanted it.
And here's a scheme of my whole tank:
I have medium/high light (6 x 30 w T8 tubes with good reflectors) and spray bars over all tank length. Flow is also very good (I think). I have 3 CO2 reactors that are running with 2-3 bps each one. My drop checker is always green all day at substrate level and during photoperiod it becomes yellow. My photoperiod is 8 hours a day and I begin the 2 first hours with only 2 light tubes. So what's the problem with my glossos? Thank you.
