Aquarium Advice FINatic
My hygras have been getting holes. Mostly the old leaves, but even the uppers as well. I know that's usually a potassium problem and I hear hygras use a lot so I've gradually been increasing potassium but no change. Should I keep adding more? Seems like I'm now adding a lot and not sure if it just needs more or if it's a different problem?
I use PPS PRO and instead of 29g of potassium I added 35g and when I dose, I am dosing 9ml in a 60g so that's already a lot more than the standard dose. Do I need more? Or could it be lack of co2?
Also my other plants are all suffering - java ferns are black and have holes (rhizome not buried). Holes in the anubias also. My rotala leaves are kinda black and also have holes.
Here's all my info:
60g long.
Fish: guppies, mollies, cories, sword tail, dwarf gourami, neon tetras, glowlight tetras, scissortail rasboras, Australian rainbows.
Lights: 2x54w T5HO, 2x15w plant growth bulbs. On for approx 7-8 hours a day.
Ferts/glut: PPS Pro daily. 8ml micros, 9ml macros. 15ml neat metricide daily.
Water params: 76 degrees, 0 nitrites/ammonia, 5-10ppm nitrates, very hard water, high ph (around 8.0). 50% PWC weekly.
I'll post a pic in just a second.
Help appreciated!
