Thanks to a diatom filter, I can now SEE my plants again....some of them look pretty good, and some look a little sad. I've been dosing essentially blind for the past month as I couldn't see the plants to catch any deficiencies as they sprang up. This is a 55 gal, 2x96 watt PC, Eco-complete, 2xDIY CO2 + Excel, dosing all K, N, P and trace (CSM+B from Greg Watson). Moderate fish load (~20 fish all <2") There are two plants in question here...
First, is a big sword plant (red rubin, I think?) It was very happy before the GW. Now, many of the outer leaves have died off (will trim those tonight) and the other leaves are brown around the edges. I'm thinking potassium deficiency but it might just have been the lack of light.
Second is an ozelot sword, it had this "problem" before the GW...all the leaves that it had when I got it are a light green with dark red spots. All the new leaves remain dark red and some are slightly crinkled while the old leaves are very flat.
