I have a 72" x 18" x 20" tank. Currently I am running 3 rows of T8 lighting, 2 Eheim 2217 canisters, CO2 via AM1000 and dedicated pump (Ocean Runner).

Dosing is as follows:

Sat/Mon/Wed - 1 tsp Potassium Nitrate + 1 tsp Mono-Potasisum Phosphate
Sun/Tue/Thu - 30mls Rexolin APN trace + 30mls EDTA iron

I can provide more details about the traces/iron mix if necessary.

CO2 comes on at 1pm and goes off at 10pm.
Lights come on at 2pm and goes off at 11pm.

What I've noticed is that my Hygro Polysperma leaves start to droop quite a lot mid-morning (say around 11am ish). There is no CO2 or lights on at this time.

Attached is a photo showing the drooping. Edit: How do you attach a photo that is on your hard drive??

Several hours into the photoperiod, the leaves straighten out and look normal again, and by the end of the photo period, the leaves look perfectly normal.

What causes this?

Scott.
 
Hi hogan53.

It's been submerged for about 3 months now.

It's weird that it would be going into sleep mode at 11am.

Any fix for this short of getting different plants?
