My weeping moss and fissidens fox are turning browner and browner every day, im trying to figure out how to save them.
Here is the current picture of the tank, you can see the browning at the moss on top and fox at the base of the tree and also at the monte carlo on the floor: https://imgur.com/a/bRUIjOP
Here are my questions:
Is there a way to tell if plant is browning(dieing) or if its from brown algae? ( see attached images )
Can there be too much light for low-mid light plants which could cause them to die? Like the weeping moss at the top?
Does indirect light or direct light from a led light matter?
Is flourish Excel moss safe?
Weeping moss and fissdens fox browning, how can I figure out what is causing it?
Detail for those interested
Tank Specs:
7.9 fluvial ebi nano tank
Black Diamond blasting abrasive– inert substrate
Chichiros 25 watt rgb, dimmed to be approx. 16 watt total. On for 12 hours per day to create enough algae for otos.
Dosing:
2 flourish tabs in soil – replaced every 4-6 months
1/5 cap full of flourish liquid once a week
Flourish excel a few drops daily.
Cycle:
Tank about 1 -1.5 months old. Dosed 4ppm ammonia, then used tetra safe start to cycle. Tested daily and its definitely fully cycled. I recently added in plants + oto catfish.
