Hi, all-
I have posted a thread at another site regarding my issue, so if you are seeing double, no you aren't losing your sight.
Here is the time frame:
I planted my 20L three weeks ago tomorrow.
I have 65 watts of 6700K PC over my tank (7 hours of light)
I have been injecting 3-4 bps of pressurized C02 since the start.
I am running an eheim 2026 with inline heater set at 76*F
The first two weeks, the HC took off. 12 days into the cycle, I had to trim the tops due to the fact that the lower leaves were yellowing a bit.
This past week, I noticed aside from the yellowing (light brown spots on the leaves), the runners were green on the top and browning halway down the stem.
The higher portions of the plant are swaying with the current...it looks like they are melting and pinching off from the base plant.
Here are my water chem stats:
76*F
PH: 6.0
NO2: 0ppm
NO3: 10ppm
NH3+4: 2ppm
I have dosed "Left over" ADA Brighty K (Potassium Sulfate), Brighty Green Step-1 (Traces), and even tried some phosphate.
No-one seems to know what is going on. My long term plan is to see how this yellowing/melting works itself out.
I am going to get some iron tomorrow, and a phosphate test kit.
Besides this, what can I do? Has anyone had issues with HC like this?
Thanks.
