from what i can tell the tips are not dead and the hairgrass seems healthy, i keep seeing little strands of hair grass floating to the top of the aquarium I'm not sure if the amanos are causing this because before i added them this didn't happen at all. which is why I'm not sure if its just that...

hello, i added a few amano shrimp to my aquarium a few days ago, and i noticed that some of them have been nibbling the tips of my eleocharis hairgrass , which is strange as i didn't think they eat plants , could it be that there just hungry as i have not fed them anything yet, and the aquarium...

hello, No luck, have now decided to tear down the aqaurium,

hello, the rock i use is seiryu sone which raises even more hardness.

hello if it possibly Fe as suggested Would Something like EasyLife Ferro be a good ? or should i buy somthing like ADA ECA? im not a big fan off mixing my own, i prefer to buy it ready. can anyone recommend one ? thanks

hello, if thats the case il wait a little while longer. thanks

appears to be no improvement even with dry dosing epsom salt. still can't understand why this is happening, flow is very high so i co2, its being packed with tropica ferts and epsom salt and still no improvement?

Thanks guys i appreciate all the input, i have added some Mg hopefully thinks start getting better.

hello, its not because its bushy its not due to flow either. the top part of the stem is bent. heard this happens due to fe deficiency?

hello, does anyone know how i can dose epsom salts, never done something like this before. can i add straight to the water column? if so how much for a 13 litre? or would mixing a solution be better? if so how much ml water to how many spoons? does it need to be done after a water change or...

ok thanks , i understand now :) co2 is very high and i have still been double dosing tropica ferts with no signs of improvement. any recommendations for Fe to dose also side Mg? thanks

Hello , I do believe there is somthing interfering with the uptake of Fe or Mg Not sure what , maybe lowering the ph... would that work ? Also I'm going to begin dosing Mg tomorrow, As for Fe I'm not sure whether to dose more, Any straight forward recommendations ? Eg : 1.Dose Mg and Fe ...

forgot to mention that on the new growth of the hemianthus micranthemoides the stem (the tip) seems flimsy, it doesn't stay upright and is bent.

Ok thanks everyone , will buy some epsom salt tomorrow from boots. but if Fe is precipitating out , then wouldn't adding more iron not make a difference. if this is the case what do i do. something must be causing nutrients uptake difficuties. thanks

So what do you guys advise i do, dose Fe , does Mg,? How do i know if theres a precipitation issue and how do i solve it? My tapwater is hard, and i do almost daily water top offs, Could this be a issue should i try lower the ph ? Cheers

sorry for the silly questions but how do i find out if the fe is reacting with the substrate , and how do i sort the problem out, thanks

some new picture of the hemianthus micranthemoides, have been dosing double the ferts for a few days now and haven't seen improvement ,there getting worst co2 has been bumped up to 3 bps gradualy. as you can see the leaves appear unhealthy

so decided to go ahead and double ferts like suggested, also does anyone know the symptoms of some toxicities ,can't seem to find any online . cheers

yes i agree i have learnt a lot from ukaps my self, however i don't really like to use DCs, i find them unreliable i prefer to use my ph to understand if there is a adequate co2 supply. iv bumped up the co2 today and decreased light intensity slightly. hopefully there will be some improvement...

both

sorry forgot to say, i don't use a dc

hello, thanks for the replies. ferts are high as tropica recommends doing 5 pumps per 50litres a week i have been dosing much more. co2 was 2bps until amano shrimp where 4 days ago, however i will try up the co2 today, and reduce the lights but do you guys think there could be a...
