hi all, over the last 2 weeks my plants have started to look very leggy, leaves going yellow with holes in them, green spots on the leaves.
Setup for about 6 months
Dennerle 55l scaper
fluval 307 filter
CO2 - about 2bps - comes on for 5 hours (1 hour before lights on, off 2 before lights off)
Lighting Twinstar 450e - 2.30>8.30 with a 1 ramp up and down in that time as well, set at 35% at the peaks.
Dosing 5ml a day of TNC complete
2.5ml of Seachem Excel
weekly 30% water change
i would say heavily stocked fish wise
I changed my dosing 2 weeks ago from tnc lite to tnc complete because i thought i lacked nitrate and phosphates. I do test weekly for nitrates and have always recorded 0 pm, hence my move to nitrate along with my floating plants showing signs of lack of nitrate etc. the irony is my floating plants look good at the min, maybe too much shading?
i still suspect a lack of nitrate and phosphate, i'm also suspecting a lack of CO2 or maybe flow of CO2
hope someone can point out my errors and offer advice before any algae gets out of control
thanks
