10 gallon 40 watts no
NO3 - 10-20ppm I tested after dosing, dumb me, will test in the morning
PO4 - 2 again after dosing
KH 10, GH 8, pH 6.6
Anchored to an unfinished piece of ceramic bisque
Dose .2ppm iron from CSM+B and alternate 10ppm NO3 and 1ppm PO4 with 20ppm K2SO4
Leaves, old and new have holes through them that look like something ate a hole in them. I do have pond snails but I have never seen them eating it. The holes are very brown and so numerous it looks every spore that might have been on the bottom is now a hole. No other plant is showing signs of any problems, elodea growing like the weed it is. Wisteria growing extremely well. Water sprite grow better floating but is growing both floating and planted. Anubias barteri nana is putting out a ton of roots and is growing a dozen new leaves. Crypt Red Wendtii is bigger than I have ever seen it and is not showing any signs of any problems. Cork Screw vals are only 8 inches tall but very healthy and sending out numerous runners.
Could my NO3 be bottoming out and be used up before the fern can get some? Is the fern not that hardy when grown in with other fast growing plants? It was growing just fine before putting it on the ceramic, could it be that the unfinished piece is somehow burning the leaves?
I do plan to give it away but I want it to be healthy and I don't want this to be a precursor to my other plants going south too.
