Tom is there some secret to keeping red cambomba red under lower light conditions (2 wpg)?
Dosing should not be an issue but you never know. Tank size 29 gallons. CO2 drives the pH from 7.4 to 6.4 daily.
Macros: (Every 2 days)
1/4 Teaspoon KNO3
1/16 Teaspoon KH2PO4
1/16 Teaspoon K2SO4
Micros: (Every 2 days opposite day of Macros)
5 mL of Seachem Flourish
Iron: 3 mL daily (Increased from 1 mL after my new cambomba leaves started showing some yellowing. This appears to have solved the problem with the yellowing as the plant greened up within a few hours).
Weekly 50-75% waterchanges.
I read in your Nitrogen Barr Report that if I limit Nitrates, my plants will turn nice and red but this seems dangerous. Is the secret in the lighting or dosages to get red cambomba to stay red. When I bought it it was nice and bright red now it is slowly turning green but still growing just not as fast as the green cambomba.
