So my aquarium has been around since March of 2011, and it is a 29 gallon biocube. It has been planted the whole time, but only recently have my plants started to show unusual signs. I have a 36 watt 10k bulb, and also a 36 watt actinic bulb (about 2.5 watt/gallon). My plants all seemed to be growing well for the first few months, but now they are starting to brown around their edges, or have entire leaves covered in brown stuff. I’ve tried wiping it off, but that doesn’t seem to work. Anyone have any idea what can be wrong with my plants?
My ammonia/nitrites are zero, and nitrates are at 10 ppm. My temperature holds steady at 77 °F, and my lights are on for about 13 hours a day. I use Seachem’s Flourish twice a week, and have recently started dosing with Seachem’s Flourish Excel (once I noticed the browning).
Below are some pictures that hopefully will help diagnose the problem.
If you need any more information, please ask and I’ll try to answer quickly.
Thanks for your help!
