Plants dying quickly. Help needed please.
Thanks everybody for giving me those hints. I'll see what I can do to
augment the wattage in the tank before doing anything else. Oh, and just as an add-on to the current conversation. I've known for a while that my PH was too high. I've tried using something called "PH Adjust down": http://www.hagen.com/canada/english/...07751001010 1 to reduce the PH, but that did not work at all. I would sometime succesfully reduce the PH around 7.5, but less than 24 hours latter it was back up to 8+. So I wouldn't be suprised that you're right about my plants eating all the CO2 making the PH bounce back up very quickly. BTW, I've read this newsgroups, several websites and a few other newsgroups and there's so many diferent opinion about this that I don't know...: Is CO2 really a necessity in a tank if I want to maintain plants?

I wondered if his plants were stripping all the CO2 out of the water, creating that artificially high pH. (If so, increasing surface turbulence should bring it down.) But since he's got less than one watt per gallon, and says his plants aren't growing well, I dunno... Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
