Hello
I have very strange problem with the ferrum consumption and level in my tank
Im adding ferrum daily to maintain 0.1mg/l level. ( I use hand made Fe solution produced from Fe2S04+EDTA+ascorbic acid. Its have good stability)
Never test it before but seems that its was ok for al my plants
this sunday im completely replant all my Glossa and on the next day catch huge chlorosys on young leaves. Also all my Sagitaria subulbata became yellowish.(Rotala Indica, Moss, Ludwigia feels good with no chlorosis symptoms)
I check Fe level with JBL test - 0.. S I decided to add 0,2 mg at evening and 0,2 morning.. At evening i once again check test - 0. - Same thing on the next day +0,2 evening +0,2 at morning and at evening - level is 0. Also no visible improvement in plant state. Then I made test to check my solution. In simple untap water I add it to get 0,4 mg/l - stay it on night and in morning test it with JBL - 0,4 - So the solution is no reason.
BUT what the reason - plants eats more then 0.4 fe dayly
Or its another reason
- may be UV lamp, with work 24/7,
- may be something in canister filter (i did not clean it for 2 month),
- may be hight K level (25mg/l)
I also add NPK+Trace (all handmade) every day
Please help
