Javafern - Brown Splotches

[Nathaniel Whiteside]

Dropping a bristle nose in does appear to solve a problem, but not at its root.
Your goal should be understanding what your plants require in simple terms. No need to be a brain box like Clive.

You've obviously never dropped a couple of bristle noses in a tank with a bit of an algae issue - it's like Mr Muscle - grime to spotless almost overnight.

I chopped my leaves off, no splotches here 😛

Glad your plant is less blotchy 🙂 (albeit using scissors rather than a cure )

btw I've never had an algae issue 😉

I have.
But I just solve it by throwing a brick through the tank.

Gets rid of it just fine.

Hahahahaha

Just spat my tea all over the place

To me, blasting javafern with CO2 is just another version of Nathaniel's brick, though I'll admit probably involves less water damage!

I shall grow my 'duckweed' to ensure they are shaded, and monitor my KN03 and see how the new leaves grow in.

I always thought brown blotches on java fern is potassium deficiency.
