Hello every1
The last couple of months, my plants has started to look awfull and im also getting BBA algea (think its BBA atleast).
Setup is as follows:
Tank ( been established since june ´08) : 260 liters
Lights: ati sunpower 4x54 w, with 9 hours of photoperiod total, split on 6 hours of 2x54 w and 3 hours of 4x54w.
Ferts.: 3x a week., macro 3/4 tsp KNO3, 1/4 tsp KH2PO4, 1/4 tsp K2SO4. micro easylife profito 3x 15 ml.
Co2: via glass diffusor. 1 hour prior lights come on, and 1 hour before lights go off. Dropchecker is limegreen/yellowish the whole time lights are on.
Flow: tetratec ex 1200, tunze nanostream 6025 powerhead. ( cleaning the canister every 45 days apprx.)
50% waterchange every sunday.
The plants are looking rly dull, and all the new leaves they make soon gets curly and brownish. I thought about magnesium diffiency, but according to my watersupplier, the tap water should contain 20 mg/l. So that should not be a problem after all?
