It quickly took over half of the top of my tank and was a lovely color until a few days ago. It's still propagating like mad, but the older growth is turning brown and transparent as the new plants come off of it. Is this the normal life cycle for the plant or is something wrong?
My smaller tank has the original plants in it, and they are doing fine. The biggest difference between the two is the amount of surface movement. The sprite stays pretty well stationary in the small tank and has growth extending up to 4" above the surface.
This leads me to believe that the plant being jostled by filter output is causing the problem. If that's the case, I'm going to build a corral of sorts to hide beneath the center support beam that goes 1" beneath the water surface to keep the plants in the still side and out of the filter output.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
