My aquarium have 6 months now, I have reused anubias, bucephalandras, ferns, crypt's and ludwigia from a old tank.
During the time there a green cover that come black in all slow grow plants and in all rocks and wood.
Postostemon, Ludwigia , and ferns are growing well, but anubias and bucephalandras (these are my favorite plants) are not ok, all leaves with more than 1 month become ugly.
About the fertilization I following the routine described bellow for about 1,5 months, before I was using DIY dry salts mixing, but the ppm amount was similar.
I would like to do not reduce light time, because I like to enjoy the view, I already increase and decrease the power.
I have JBL test kits for testing water, My tap water have KH 2, GH 5.
Usually when I test tank water nitrates are always low (1 or 3 ppm) but I assume is normal because I dose it daily, plant can absorve all quickly.
What is causing melting and black coat in bucephalandras and black coat at anubias?
Please help I'm getting crazy with this green/black thing....
1. 280L, 6 months, 100x60x48
2. eheim 2275 (1250L/H).
3. 10H (5h in full power+ 3h at 50% +2h 20%), I have two led ligths because is a deep tank 60cm, twinstart 900 EA (3950 lumens máx) + happet aqua led 100 27W (3000 lumens max at 6500k )
4. Neo aqua soil.
5. Co2 dosing- 2 bubbles per second- in lide difusor (JBL Pro direct)
6. Fertilizers used are aquarebell basic macro + micro basic, I follow the instructions from the bottle for high light. (I think is PMDD )
Macros dosed daily, resulting in a total per week: NO3 7ppm/week, PO4 0,7ppm/week, K 9,1ppm/week, Mg 0,7ppm/week
Micros: 5ml per day
7. Water change regime: 50% / 60% per week, clean mechanical filtration once a month.
8. Plant list: all planted 6 months ago, nubias, bucephalandras, ferns, cript's, ludwigia pogostemon erectus
9. I have 5 Amanos, 7 Otocinclus, 2 SAE, 2 neritine snailes that for cleaning.
Display fish I have 5 tiger barb +3 denisoni barb + 2 pearl gourami, they all have more 3 years they come from my old tank.
