Hi folks!
Couple of days ago i planted a 60x35x35cm tank with HC and Eleocharis.
I wanted to try a DSM to make a HC a little stronger and thicker before i fill up the tank because i started with very little HC.
It has only been maybe a week but i'm begining to think if DSM was a mistake. The plants are not showing any progress.
Eleocharis is kinda turning yellow, like it's drying out , and on the other hand HC looks like it's rotting in some places.
Cyano is showing in places where the soil creeped out through the gravel.
I'm trying to keep a water level under the gravel so the plants are not under water, and on th other hand i wory that my Eleocharis will dry out so i'm spraying it every other day, i siphone out the excess after spraying.
The light is pretty strong but set up high, 2x125w mercury lamps 80cm above the supstrate.
Am i doing something wrong or should i just wait a bit longer?
Am i keeping it too wet or maybe too dry?
