Hi
Well my high tech cube has been running for 16 days now and has been going great but the last few days some plants are developing holes in the leaves. The crypts are getting holes in their older leaves but my alternanthera Rosaefolia has had leaves in all parts get holes and wear away. Also my Amazon sword echinodorus belheri has grown huge but one of the leaves is pinched and has holes and slightly pale yellow in colour. All classic signs of lack of ferts!
This problem is my own fault I had read the dosing wrong on my neutro+ and was only adding 3-4ml a day when it should be more like 15ml a day! Also with the co2 and light being high there has been huge plant growth...
So now I'm dosing 15ml of the neutro+ a day and things look a bit better already. Much more pearling and the holes have stopped. As im new to this high tech and feeding and very new to this product what should/ can I do? Can I add more than the recommended 15ml for a 150lt aquarium? Will that cause problems with algae or pollute the water for fish and shrimps?
The tank is heavily planted here is a picture to see density of plants...
So does anyone else use the neutro+? Can I or should I up the dose?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers
