Hi All,
I've ran planted tanks for years and something always seems to cause me a problem where the old leafs of some plants get diatoms. This is predominant in stem plants more than anything and really looks ugly. My plants seem to be growing fine and I don't think I have any sign of deficiency.
Similarly, I've had very small amounts of BBA on the slower growing plants like Java Fern and Bolbitis.
If you look at my latest post in my journal you can see some pictures of the problem. http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/...ets-in-4-3-2016-180l.37684/page-4#post-436078
So my question is: How do you keep all the old leafs clean and vibrant? Others manage it but I cant seem to.
