Hi everyone,
I finally redesigned my 65G tank 3 weeks ago with lots of new plants. But some of the leaf tips are starting to get yellow. Based on the postings on the web, this usually means lack of nitrate.
here is some info about the tank:
Substrate is Eco-complete, covered with black sand.
During the setup, I added some Osmocote plus fertilizers, and 3-4 root tabs (which I wanted to get rid of).
I'm injecting Co2.
I'm also dosing Nitrate and Phosphorous (5 ml) each day.
This is only happening to broad leaf plants like Ludwigia. Cabomba and Hydrocotyle look pretty happy.
I was thinking of adding some Osmocotes (in a bag) to the canister filter and let it do the job. Has anyone done this? naturally, I have to do something to avoid it getting tangled in the propeller. What do you guys think?
Thank you,
