Cardamine lyrata melting

[Lee iley]

Evening all,

Just a little help on the above plant starting to melt on some of its leaves. It has been in the tank now for about 4 weeks and has been fine up until yesterday. I cut of the melted leaves yesterday and again today there was more.

Current set up.
200l tank
Been set up since May.
Oase biomaster thermo 350
Fluval plant 3.0 60% 7 hours per day.
Ramp up 30mins and ramp down 30 mins.
Only set it to 7 hours yesterday from 6 hours. Was at 50% and again changed that to 60% yesterday.
Substrate jbl pro capped with sand and gravel. Hard scape seryu stone.
Temp 23c.
Ph 7.6
Gh 4
Kh 4
TDS 233
Amonia/nitrite 0
Tank is heavily planted with lots of swords/s repens/53b/crypts/and amazon frogbit.
No co2 and Fertiliser every week with tnc complete. The only thing I have changed is I have started to add westland Epsom salt for the magnesium for my shrimp.
Any help would be great.

Cheers Lee

Just some shots of my tank to see if you guys can see anything g else wrong in the tank. To me the plants look very healthy. I have took a few leaves of the amazon frog bit they go yellow and look like they melt every now and then I put that down to them getting wet every time I do a water change. Or could it be a a deficiency?

I think you should not be much concerned about minor losses in a new tank.
