brown spots
Can anyone take a look at these pics of some of my leaves. I am not
sure what these brown spots are and seem to get all different solutions from postings of similar nature. Check out these pics at: http://home.comcast.net/~dacaprice/ I would really appreciate any feed back. I am currently working on a CO2 injection, but have not had luck with the yeast packets sold to me with the kit (I think the yeast is dead). So for all intents and purposes I have no CO2 injection yet. I have some pale leaves too... from what I understand that is an iron deficiency?? correct?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! tank specs: 6700K 65 watt flourescent light which should be more than efficient so I think light isn't a problem. I also have a UGF with a powerhead, temp is steadily 78 degrees F, power filter with bio wheel. pH is a high at 7.6, 0 ppm of nitrite, 0 ppm of ammonia, and the general hardness is 10 dGH. This tank has been established for about 6 months now, everything in it however was moved from a tank that was running for about 3 years. |

brown spots
looks like low light brown algae, otherwise, it could be plain normal algae
in a non co2 tank... you say 65w, but not what size tank... I assume a 29/30ish and under those conditions, I'd say it's probably in need of Co2 easily... 2 days after I disconnected my CO2 from my 29 with 65w PCF, I had brush algae... yippee.... now that tank is infested with it, and it doesn't react to lights being off, so it's a manual tear down to rid it... -- RedForeman ©® "Dacaprice" wrote in message om...

Then you surely have enough lighting, maybe it's ferts or over feeding? You'll find a balance somewhere between feeding and ferting, that you're doing one too much, probably food.... Actually, I think it looks pretty nice... even with the brown spots... rubbing them off, did it produce stuff that came off or was it just a brown spot IN the leaf? -- RedForeman ©® |

I tried rubbing off the brown spots, but they do not come off. I finally got my CO2 yeast setup running. I'm not sure how many bubbles it should be producing per second, or it producing enough; atleast it's producing. I will just monitor the pH over the next couple days to see if it makes a difference. I noticed though that i am getting holes in some of my leaves. Is that related to the algae? |

I ordered some Seachem Flourish Potassium from the web. So I should have that in a few days. Hopefully it will help. Chris |
