Hi there everyone!
I've recently had a set up which had an array of red and pinky plants but gradually they lost their vivid colour and blended into a green colour. I've done of reading and from what I've read the association that people make with red colours are high light and high co2 with some extra iron. I was running an exceptionally high light set up and because of not having introduced any life stock was tripling the necessary co2. I was also flooding the tank with ferts...perhaps x4 the recommended amount to ensure there weren't any deficiencies.
Could this be the loss of my red growth as I've noticed that knocking back the macros on my other nano has really brought out the red in my mini bonsia?
If anyone has any experience with this id be grateful to hear it!
Thanks
