Hi
After reading Chand320 post on csmith's thread "Stems Rotting Dead Center", I started looking at the problem of rotting stems I have that has been going on for few weeks now. I plant stem plant in one particular area and the stem rots. I cut the rotted part and plant it again and it rots again. Some stem I have left are about couple inches tall now
I poked the substrate (laterite and gravel) with stick and in some places 1 or 2 bubles came. Not sure if that means the substrate is not anaerobic. But I have dead zone right next where co2 is getting injected. And glowssos are right under co2 mist yet they are growing upward. What could be the problem? I have attached pic of my tank with the current flow, please suggest..
Tank Spec:
Tank Size: 55 gallons
Light: 130 watts (6700k)X1
CO2: pressurized co2, 5 bps using Max Jet 600 which send the co2 as mists
Substrate: Laterite and gravel mix
Filteration: 2 HOB filters (both for upto 70 gallons and creates good surface turbulance), 1 Fluval 305 (for upto 70 gallons)
UV: 15watts Aqua connected to output of Fluval 305 and runs 24/7
Dosing: EI
