I have....sorry had, a gorgeous clump of HZ...growing really nicely and a major focal point in my tank.
But in the last week, it has gone black and melted away....almost like a tender terrestrial plant goes when it gets frosted.
This has coincided with me using Tetra Easy Balance.
It is right under 3 x 18w triplus T8 tubes and all other plants are doing well. However someone suggested that the plant needs high nitrates/nitrites or it will go black. I'm pretty sure Easy Balance claims to reduce nitrates too.
Any suggestions and if it is a nitrate deficiency, how do i "cure" it apart from chucking loads of food at my 50 odd cardinals ?
Many thanks
