Seedling
Hi, the outermost tip (10%) of my Java Fern leaves have lost green color but instead turned milky or transparent .
It has happened to almost all of my ferns in the aquarium recently . They are all tied with their rhizomes to roots and have grown quite nice for about a year in this tank of about 500 litres(200x50x50cm).
I am about to remove all full grown leaves since the rhizomes all of a sudden started shooting a large numbers of new leaves .
Cryptocorynes recently added, 3 weeks ago, they start to grow beautiful though.
Lighting 10 hrs/day:
2x 36W Osram 77 Fluora new,
2x 36W Osram 830 Warm white, quite old. (Planning on changing these to Osram Skywhite 880)
2x 3W Blue Moonlight LED
Water: pH 7.2, dH 6, Waterchanges 50% twice a week.
Filtration: Fluval FX5 3500L/h
Co2: 6kg bottle: 2-3 bubbles/sek, Ferplast CO2 power reactor.
Fertilizers: Tropica Master grow 5 ml/day, Evolution Happy Plant 5ml/day. Tetra Initial sticks under the rooted plants.
Substrate: English beach gravel, there is some remains of faxe lime sand in the bottom substrate.
Inhabitants (Asian Sumatra biotope):
7 Clown loaches 4cm each,
30 Harlequin Red rasbora,
5 Flying fox,
10 Micro Galaxy rasbora.
Plants:
Java Fern, Java Moss, Cryptocoryne becketii, Cryptocoryne parva (or willisii).
