So i've had water wisteria in my tank for over a year now. Sadly I let the tank 'just be' and did no co2, fertilization, or anything for 6+ months. Needless to say I got back into the hobby and scraped the algae off the glass, added some new plants, rearranged the plants, vacuumed the substrate (black sand fluorite) and basically 'restarted' the tank. Oh and pulled out my little driftwood, boiled it for 5 hours and scrubbed all the 'gunk' off of it.
10 gallon
DIY co2 (not for the last week though...it went, uh, 'boom' on me)
2ml Seachem Flourish Nitrogen every day
1ml Comprehensive supplement once every other week
24 inch 2 bulb T5HO (24x2 watts)260
Dwarf Hairgrass (new), 2 types of Rotala (not sure which), Myrio Green, and the Wisteria
PLENTY of flow. Koralia nano, fluval 1plus internal (turned upside down for surface skimming) and an aqueon 10 power filter. So 182+100+260=542 gph. Yeah, welcome to endless swimming pool.
I got the algae back under control for the most part, but it seems to be coming back, especially the hair junk that doesn't come off so easily, so I've shut off one of the bulbs till I get some co2 back in the tank. The Rotala's are growing like mad, the dwarf hairgrass is fine, the myria is just alive. I've also got a small bit of vallis I found hidden (mostly dead) in the back of the tank that seems to be sprouting a little that I moved to the front.
The wisteria never had any issues before. It grew perfectly fine when I left the tank to do on its own, but now that i've pulled out all but 3 healthy stems the leaves are turning transparent and falling off. Is this a nutrient deficiency? Would adding some potassium help? Also the myria has kinda given me some issues. Its alive, but its not really growing at all. It looks like it wanted to sprout at one point, but then just quit about a quarter of the way there.
