Help Whats wrong with this plant???
PH is 8.0 (perfect for the 2 cichlids I have in it)
Ammonia is coming down (currently at approx 2.0 PPM) Nitrites are of course rising now(.25 ppm). Anyway, that's the good part, my problem starts in that I have never raised live plants before. I put one in the tank as a starting point until I can learn more and it seems as though there is a great deal more I need to learn, the plant is turning strange colors. The tank has a 15 Watt flourescent full spectrum aquarium light and a temp of 75 Degrees. I have been "feeding" the plant once a week with a product called "Leaf Zone" by aquarium pharmaceuticals, INC.. Since I am color blind I cannot really describe what the plant looks like but they say a picture is worth a thousand words so hopefully these pictures will help. Higher res pics available at http://home.comcast.net/~shdanhof/PlantPics.htm Anyone have any ideas what could be done to save this plant? Thanks for your help, -Steve |

Hi. Please don't post binary pictures to non-binary groups.
learn, the plant is turning strange colors. The tank has a 15 Watt flourescent full spectrum aquarium light and a temp of 75 Degrees. I have That's probably not enough light. How big is the tank? What kind of bulb is it, CF or regular fluorescent? -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

Sorry must have posted the wrong one. I thought I just posted the link to my site. What kind of bulb is it, CF or regular fluorescent? It is a 20 gallon tank with a regular fluorescent bulb. It was the bulb that came with the hood. Can I get a higher wattage bulb or should I get another fixture? Thanks -Steve |

You probably want a retrofit kit. You can get a good deal on Ebay. -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |
