Update : Did a massive 75% water change today after work and my rotala was pearling! That's a good sign...still too early to tell if the light is/was the culprit, though. I'll update again in a few weeks whether it improves or not. The websites I've read say that it requires moderate-high light. According to the PAR charts that I've seen, I'm in the very high range(even with just the one fixture)...
Maybe my water is just too hard...I don't know if I want to start softening my tank water, though. I heard that R/O water is the way to go if I want to soften my water(without getting a water softener, of course). A LFS has free R/O water that I could use on my weekly water changes....thoughts?
