Have set a new 3ft by 1.5 ft by 1.5 ft tank:
ADA AS substrate, MH 150 W light, Pressurised CO2
Initially the glossitigmas were growing well but then they have started rotting. My questions are:
1> Can this be due to sudden increase of chlorine in the supply water? and
2> Can this be due to due very soft tank water (2 degree KH) or very low pH. Read on the Net that very soft water and low pH can lead to plants rotting?
The condition is pretty serious as even the ever hardy Elocharis vivipura has started to rot too.
Would remain grateful if any one of you can help.
