Some snaps I took yest. Rotala h ra.. emerged form Myriophyllum mattogrossense and Hygrophila difformis Hydrocotyle tripartita honda and Lobelia cardinalis Full tank shot with MC carpet just planted. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

That post was in german.. :) but anyways my point is that not only senegalensis, several other plants like aromatica and even rotala had the same fate in my tank earlier. But I may be counting my chicks before they have hatched. Let my plants grow well and then I will show u before and after...

Ok.. got your point. Its a 100 gallon tank with 21 inches height. So the ferts are delivered on the water surface and there is now way of directly hitting one specific plant. And I observed these changes at various positions in the tank, that's how I concluded that co2 was not the cause. I...

Hi.. been a while.. anyway thanks for the reply. But before I go on to what has happened after this thread I would like to understand what u mean by how u dose ur fert? Is that like whether I premix or directly add them to the tank? Not very clear. Anyway I am going out on a limb to say that...

Thanks Darrel.. always good to hear from you. I do love the limnophila aromatica and when it comes out well its awesome to look at. I continue to use the frogbits to judge nutrient balance cos of 2 reasons.. 1. As u said it takes co2 of the equation because of the exposure to air 2. As its...

Hi.. thanks for your comment. True regarding the feedback of people who have faced issues so that we can get an idea on how to resolve similar issues which we may be having.. Anyway.. although I do use RO I have not replaced chloride at all. All my compounds were sulphate based. Checked my...

Hi, I should have updated this thread a long time back but I was figuring out a lot of things and its taken me almost 2.5 years to figure them out. Even now I have not solved all the issues in my tank but atleast I can now grow most of the plants I try. Specially limnophila aromatica which was...

Hey Clive.. Thank you so much for your feedback. Was hoping you would say something. Means a lot. Anyway here goes.. I installed the second cylinder cos I read Tom Barr saying somewhere that co2 misting was a good way for co2 delivery. Thought i will try that. C ant use a second reactor as...

Just an update on what's happening. What I have changed: 1. Increased the co2.. I have added a second 4kg cylinder in addition to the pre-existing 3 kg. The former has been connected to an in tank ista ceramic diffuser which leads the bubbles into a power head and forms a fine mist (Pls see...

One more short video of yesterday's pearling. Will take some pics today if possible. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/59d2e79bec59f/20171002_102855.mp4 Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

I corrected the slant. Ping pong is to and fro. What I have created is two circular pattern. Outer horizontal plane and inner vertical if u view from top. Don't think it's the same cos if it's all counter current it will just create turbulence and cancel put the flow. And I try to work with...

Nope. It was definitely pearling. The bubbles were coming out of the leaves. The undersurface and tips. Am pretty sure of that. I am not adding anything today. Just want to c what happens. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

These were short clips I took today morning. This was after three days of no ferts as I was away from town. I changed my water in the morning 50%. Then as I was adding water I also mixed 3 tsps of equilibrium. This amt of pearling at just two lights and that too so early in the day I have not...

Thanks so much for taking the time and effort. Yes.. I got the idea of placing the spray bars on the back from one of ur posts. The green spray bar s eheim and it's a little slanted cos it was pretty close to the surface and didn't want the co2 coming out to reach the surface quickly. The...

I do get what u r saying and I did read through the link that u provided. Have ordered florin fe which contains both edta and gluconated forms. But the thing is that I have dosing iron regularly only recently.. probably last couple of months. Before that I used to skip dosing for weeks together...

Not saying I have a whirlpool or need one. Just saying that there s a lot of flow. But I get ur point. Yes. That's true. But I wasn't dosing micros in the beginning. Could that be the reason? Yes. I could post some videos of the flow pattern. Btw that aromatica looks awesome. Pls don't...

Thanks. I think u do have a point. I will have a look at that and get back to u. Just have a couple of them left from what used to be 50 or so. Pretty sad. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

I read abt that too. Actually even though there s strong flow in my tank water surface does not break. And the frogbits get segregated in one corner by my fish feeding rings. So they r stationary. Anyway thanks for ur comment. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Thanks for ur reply.. I am a fan of urs and of course Tom Barr. So my first and foremost thought was poor co2 and poor circulation. So I increased co2 from 2 to almost 6 bps. I checked the tube for kinks and leaks. Also cleaned the inline reactor. I also added an extra 800 gph wavemaker and...

Thanks for ur reply. The thing with iron is that I have been dosing with seachem iron since the very beginning and the dose has been very even. Just 5 ml once per week. But as u can c from previous pictures I haven't had this sort of plant morphology before. True that I have burnt up some...

These were taken yesterday. The l. aromatica has such small deformed leaves. Never seen this plant behave this way before. Frogbits almost gone. L. Ovalis showing def symptoms in older leaves as are rotala indica. Pls give ur valuable feedback. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Recent pics. Before multiple water changes. U can notice that the older leaves have been robbed off nutrients and look unhealthy. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Loss of l. aromatica but notice the healthy l. aquatica. This was before the recent failure. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

3. Burnt plants 4. Post overdose recovery Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

I know what a lot of u must be thinking. I have read all those discussions on this topic and there r a lot of people who don't believe that micronutrients toxicity can happen. Well... I am no expert and I have not measured the micros in my tank. However the way that things have unfolded in my...

Well said. I have been following ukaps for a over a year now and I should say that I am a big fan of ur posts. Have learnt a lot and I think it's the way u explain things. It's very simple but scientific too. I hope u keep finding the time to enlighten more souls like mine in this awesome hobby...

Nice growth. And that too without co2. How long did this take to grow. Did u have any issues during that period. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Latest pic of my tank.. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Sorry if there was a miscommunication from my side. Just wanted to clear few stuff. Most of the stem plants had melted or had burnt look and that I attribute to the high levels of nutrients. And as to why the ei dosing with weekly 50% water change did not work was also bcos of inadequate...

Hi guys.. I am here to give a feedback on wat happened. First I wud like to thank u all so much for taking the time to reply and why I haven't posted this reply earlier cos I just figured out wat was going wrong in my tank. Problem: 1. The swords died a few weeks after this thread started. 2...

Yes. Need not dose for atleast 3 months. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Depends on wat kind of substrate u have used.. with volcanic soil like Ada or ecocomplete u need not use ferts for atleast 3 months. Inert gravel needs ferts from the start. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Will measure the tds soon. In the meantime.. discovered that it WAS the bn plecos munching on the swords and the dwarf gourami picking apart the limnophila aromatica. Planning to give some zucchini for the plecos. No idea how to control the gourami. Any thoughts on that? Sent from my SM-G920I...

Yes.. whatever u said is absolutely true. But unfortunately the city I live in has outrageously high ground water tds. We have a huge RO plant for the entire apartment. The waste water that is generated is used for gardening. It's not a good ecological alternative but if the ground is used...

All my water outlets including all taps have RO water coming out. The ground water is too hard to be used as such. So the entire apartment gets RO water. That's why I add the equilibrium. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Hi all.. so grateful for all the replies. Didn't expect such a response. U have no idea how helpful this kind of feedback is. From the looks of it u guys r probably rite regarding the leaves becoming fodder for the fish. Here r pics of my limnophila.. I will try and get less expensive...

Hi everyone.. I have two sword plants which were doing very well until recently. First my co2 was down for about a week during which they developed some bba but once I restarted co2 that was solved. But after that they both have shown a downhill course. These r my tank specs..<br />100 gallon...

NPK (Nitrogen + Phosphorus + Potassium) Mixture for 20 Gallon Tank 1 month = 4 Weeks 3 doses of NPK per week Therefore there are 12 doses of NPK per month Multiply a single dose teaspoon value by 12 => [3/16 tsp KNO3]*12 = 2 ¼ tsp KNO3 [1/16 tsp KH2PO4]*12 = ¾ tsp KH2PO4 [1/2 tsp MgSO4]*12 = 6...

I set up my high tech 100g planted tank 4 months back. Plants were flourishing. Now they seem to have developed nutritional deficiency. Can't pinpoint the exact parameter but it cud be potassium or manganese or iron. But in general leaves r more brownish and dull some with holes. Anyway I posted...
