I have a 240L CO2 injected tank that is 3 years old and very well established. No algae issues (currently). It is dosed daily with JBL NPK fertiliser and plant growth has always been very good.
I have already posted on my journal thread that a surface film appeared on this tank a few weeks ago. Although I realise this may not be related, at about the same time the growth of my Limnophila become very odd. I would normally have to trim it back weekly but you can see in the first picture, It’s getting quite “leggy” and growth has slowed right down. It appears to be losing the fronds lower down the stems and leaving bare stalk in some cases. All other plants seem unaffected. Obviously this is not a huge issue in the grand scheme of things but I am curious if anyone out there could offer any suggestions to the cause or what I could do to improve matters. I have always considered this to be the easiest plant to look after in my tank. Could the age of my set up be a factor?
The second picture is of the same plant in my 1 year old low tech 40L (non co2) tank with the plant looking as I would expect it to.
