Good day to all,
I'm new to the site, and so far I've seen a lot of knowledgeable hobbiest.
In my 15 gal tall tank I have Anubias, java fern, amazon sword and banana plant. They've been in my tank more or less 6 months. I'm satisfied with their growth, I've been adjusting here and there every time I noticed something strange in plants.
And, lately I've been struggling on how can I stop the brown spots on my java fern, and after a while it's gonna become holes. Both of my java and anubias also started having like black color patches on their leaves I believe it's a start of BBA.
My light since I switched to LED is now probably too much for my plants specially the anubias and java fern. I have Excel that I dose every other day and liquid fertz twice a week. I also placed root tabs too near my amazon sword plant.
After reading threads here I realized I've been missing more water movement. So last night I turned up my sponge filter more to max. And right away I can see tiny bubbles traveling around to the bottom of the tank. Hopefully this will solve my issues. But at the same time I have a female betta in the tank with snails and kuhli loaches. So my questions are, how much water movement do I really need? Like any tips what to watch for? The reason why I'm asking his is that I don't want it to be too much for my betta. I purposely placed a sponge by the outlet of my Fluval C4 filter so that she won't feel like she's in a washing machine lol. I'll appreciate any replies thank you in advance.
