    Many make it too moist and not enough air. Just leave a crack in the hood.

    Left a crack in there.. It's just weird because they were doing Soo well.. And all of a sudden they turned yellow almost overnight then they started browning... Kinda perplexed and confused.. Humidity has never gone down below 83% so it can't be that.. Air pumps are in place so there should be enough air being exchanged inside of the tank... Any other thoughts Tom?

    Never seen it occur with aquasoil, did you mist with something bad, potentially bad etc?
