Hello everyone. I am having some leaf die off and growth issues with my plants and I need to know what I am missing. First off here are my stats:
10G planted (Anacharis, Microsword, Java Fern, Java Moss)
3 WPG CF 6700K (Screw in type, not long tubes)
7.0 pH
0 ppm ammonia
0 ppm nitrites
10 ppm nitrates
0-.25 ppm phosphates
7º KH
8º GH
78º-80º F
30% PWC once a week
Here is my fertilization schedule:
2L CO2 generator attached to a Hagan ladder
1 ml of Flourish Excel daily
1 ml of Flourish Iron 2 times a week
1 ml of Flourish 3 times a week
3 Flourish tabs spaced evenly in the gravel around the tank
I am really noticing the problems with my Anacharis, which has plenty of new growth but the lower/older sections of each plant have leaves that are turning translucent and falling apart. TankGirl has already suggested that I dose with some Flourish Nitrogen which I now have on order. Am I missing anything or is all well and Anacharis does this? Thanks.
