What does it mean when water sprite leaves start to curl under and have brown tips? It is putting up new shoots but they don't grow very tall before they start to turn brown and melt away. I have been dosing my 10 gallon quarentine tank where the plants were held for 5 to 6 weeks with .50 ml of Flourish weekly after my 25% to 30% water changes. I was doing a fish less cycle in the tank and after getting it cycled dosing it up to 1ppm of ammonia every night to feed the bacteria. I had an aqua beam 500 LED light 4 or 5 inches above the tank running for 7hrs. I also had anubias and drarf sag. and waterlettuce in the tank too. The anubias is doing very well and the dwarf sag is also putting up new shoots but not growing very tall. Its only about 1 1/2 inches. The water lettuce seems do be doing fine. I had Java moss in the tank too but it turned brown and basically died. Yesterday I removed all the plants and put them in my 13 gallon display tank with the same lighting. I have dosed the 13 gallon with .60 ml of Flourish. I fear the water sprite and dwarf sag may not do well in this tank too. Help?
