HEy All ,
first off here are my specs
75 gallon aquarium
54x4 t5 bulbs 6700k (fishneedit)
pressurized co2 system, reactor
closed loop system for co2 reactor on right side, closed loop for filter on left side
flourite
dosing pfertz as recommended
I'm having a problem with my plants for some reason they are not growing.... but they are not dying. I have been
doing this for a while and i have never experienced this problem.
I thought it might be a circulation problem so i added a powerhead and it didnt really seem to make a difference
in the growth.
The other thing i'm thinking is that because my rena xp3 is not at least 24" below the water level (because)
it's closed loop it's letting in ALOT of tiny air bubbled into the tank, so not sure if that's offsetting the
co2 ? Yet my drop checker is reading a good green indicating around 30ppm
But even the easiest plants like rotala are not growing.. nor dying. the only thing that seems to be doing well
is riccia and java moss.. All my other stem plants are not growing, and my HC all died off.
Any help appreciated.
