Hi all , I have a planted tank and some of my plant are turning pale in some area in the middle of the leaf. Day after day it turns paler and eventually turns transparent and break off, as shown in the pic. Does anyone know why this is happening ??
My water :
pH 6.5
kH 3-4
temp 28-29
no CO2
uses 4X55W light bulb
carbon in the filter
sera fertilizer every water changes which is once a week
Hey Dr V how are you. I had this exact same problem.
I dont know what causes it is definately something with the water.
Recently Ive had some nitrate problems, but is now quickly under control with regular water changes.
I used to do about 30to40% water changes once a week.
At the moment I do them every 2 to 3 days.
My Plants (swords) are now strong as. I use no Fert.
Shouldnt take long to reduce your nitrate levels if they are high,
apparently mine were off the scale, later that day after a water change 40% levels droped dramatically, after two more water changes a couple of days apart, 0 readings
