Calrus
Seedling
Evening all, as the title says, my plants are suffering a bit, and I could do with some help identifying the problem.
Details are...
270l
Twinstar 1200s set at 40% 7hrs a day
Co2 4hrs before lights on off hr before lights out
Drop checker green, In line diffuser
2 x hydor pro 600 filters 1300lph
Outlets either end of tank spray bars along the back
Using apfuk fertiliser at there recommended dosing. Also some dtpa fe, as I've very hard water.
50% wc per week
I've anubias, bucephalandra microsorium, hygrofilia, pennywort and some floating plants that I can't remember the name of.
Stocking is cherry shrimp and guppies and a cpl amano shrimp.
Its been set up about 3months now but I've only swapped to apfuk ei fertiliser a week ago, which has made the surface plants and pennywort a lot greener, was dosing tnc, everything was pale green. I'm hoping the rest of plants will follow suit after a few more weeks. I've some gsa and a bit of Staghorn algae which I assume the new fertiliser regime will help. Some of the bucephalandra new growth is very light, a lot lighter than the pics show, and some pinholes in areas as well. So would you carry on as I am and wait it out or change anything im doing? Thanks for taking the time to read through this.
