Aquarium Advice Addict
I guess my methods have finally caught up with me. The beautiful sword I recieved from ringfinger is not doing so well. Here is the info:
~Plant(s) affected? Amazon Sword
~Tank size/volume? 75 gal
~Lighting/wpg? 1.46
~Do you inject CO2? If so do you know the level? No CO2
~What do pH, KH, PO4, NH3 and/or NO3 test kits say? ph =6.8, kh = 3dkh, PO4 = .5, NH3 = 0 and NO3 = 10ppm.
~Dosing? What/how much/how often? Flourish root tabs, NO3 only when needed.
~Heavily, moderately, or lightly planted? Heavily, lots of large root feeders.
~Fish stock? 5 Bolivian Rams, 4 German Blue Rams, 5 bristlenose plecos, 3 corydoras julii, 2 adult angels, 6 serpae tetras, 3 lamp eye tetras, 1 sailfin pleco and +/- 30 ramshorn snails.
~Tank Location (near windows - in direct sunlight)? Rear wall
~How long has tank been set up? - 1 year.
I recently upgraded the lighting from 1.0 and added the sword afterward. Root tabs were added prior to planting. Roots are still opaque and healthy however, small to large holes have been observed and some leaves are becoming limp. Never had a problem with any other plants. See my tank and/or plants/fish clicky for pics.
