lights, fertilizer, CO2?
Algae isn't a problem in my tank. How long would it take to see the effects
of the CO2? Phil... "Alex R" wrote in message news:7fL7c.62837$po.562934@attbi_s52... "Phil Williamson" wrote in message ... Hi all, I have a moderate to heavy planted 20 gal tank and I'm noticing that the plants are growing at a decent rate but they seem to be getting holes in them and rotting. Here's my tank specs: - 15 watt powerglo - 15 watt sunglow - leaf zone plant fert. I got my water tested the other week at my LFS and they seem to be well within normal levels. Do you think my tank would benefit from CO2 via a nutrafin natural plant system? I think CO2 would make a difference, but if you don't have any (filamentous) algae, it's not mandatory at your lighting. What I would suggest is changing your trace supplement to something more complete. Try Seachem Flourish, Kent, or Tropica Mastergrow. The holes in your plants sounds like a lack of potassium, which the Leaf Zone doesn't provide enough of. For that, try the Seachem potassium supplement, or get some dry potassium sulfate, which is more cost-effective. http://www.gregwatson.com/products.asp has it for sale. __ Alex pcalex (at) hotpop.com |
