My ludwigia repens aren't so red anymore. The leaves on the bottom - the leaves that were on the plants when I bought them - are red, but as they grow they lose the red color.
Meanwhile, as my rotala reaches higher and higher it's turning more red.
55 gallon planted tank
Fluorite
Coralife HO T5 10,000k & 6,500k bulbs
Lights stay on about 9-10 hours
Dosing Excel
Root tabs (for root feeders)
Tetra Flora Pride liquid fert until my dry ferts get ordered, and it contains Soluble Potash and Iron (that seems like a pretty wimpy fertilizer)
Ammo = 0
No2 = 0
No3 ~2
pH 7.2
Also, I have a ridiculous amount of wisteria that I'm replacing shortly. I know it's a nutrient vampire - could it be sucking up what the ludwigia needs?
Could it be the low nitrates? Need more iron? I'm seeing all sorts of answers around the internet.
Lastly, is it lud-wid-jee-a or lud-wig-ee-a? Bugging the heck out of me.
