Something curious happened in my 2 tanks. Yesterday I did water change and today the floating plants took a noticeable turn for the worse.
One tank is a small ~35L former shrimp tank, now preparing to try shrimps again, lowtech, plants not so happy, algae not so under control. Yesterday I did a massive ~85% water change, cleaning the substrate and removing algae as much as possible, and filled it back with water from the main tank. After the water change I dosed ~5ml of my macros mix.
The main tank had only a simple 50% water change as I always do. I then added salts for GH, 120ml of the macros mix and my standard dose of Fe EDDHA (~0.05ppm Fe). On the 325L tank, this macros dose added 10ppm NO3, 4ppm PO4, watever K comes with the nitrate potassium and phosphate potassium used.
Yesterday the floating plants looked OK. There were small white marks, like injuries, on some of the leaves. This morning, the plants look much worse, with large white marks, even some holes.
