Hi,
I have problems in my tank and it's causing my, once enjoyable, hobby to become a dreaded monthly task (there may lie the problem).
Sadly I am writting this 2 hrs after lights out in the tank, so I don't have any pics (will work on that for tomorrow).
Firstly, my Anubis gets this hard/rough like substance on it and then it melts away. New leaves come out a stunning deep green and then about a week later they get this stuff on them and then two weeks later they are gone.... and they are not pretty inbetween.
Secondly, I also have an algae/fungus that looks like small balls of cotton wool. They seem to grow on and around the driftwood I have in the tank and oddly enough, despite adding new bits 6 months ago, the algae seems to grow on the older wood that is around 2yrs old.
Thirdly and lastly, I have some moss that, similarly to the Anubis, grows lovely and green and then ends up brown/dirty within a few days or so. It also seems to grow very 'stringy'.
I am not sure what you might need to know from me to help me here, so if there are things that I need to check, please advise.
Regards
Lee
ps.. I use the Bonzai substrate with the fertiliser pellets at the bottom of the tank.
