jcardona1's Aqua Forest: GONE LIVE!!!

[Caoboy]

GW is due to too much light. You should make your photoperiod 6 hours. A UV will work, and shrimp will definitely work man.

Where is your HC dying? Is it beneath the other leaves?

 

[jcardona1]

its hard to say, but no, its not beneath the other leaves. ill try to take a pic when i go home for lunch in bit. check back later...

 

[jcardona1]

ok here's some quick pics. sorry theyre really crappy and its hard to tell the true color due to the GW. one of the pics looks really yellow and its not like that. its more a light brownish color. any ideas? does this look like a nutrient deficiency?

It seems to be growing good at least...

Isn't your tank next to a window?

 

[jcardona1]

yeah, its next to a window, but the back is solid black and this is what faces the window. outside of the window there is a porch. so if any light that reaches the tank is just regular ambient lighting. here's a pic again...

yeah it seems to be growing nicely, but im afraid ill lose it if i dont figure out whats wrong with it!!

ok, just thought of this. is it a possiblity that the GW is using up all the nutrients i dose, thus reducing the nutrients that actually reach the plants? i might have to hurry up and get this UV light going...

very nice regardless of the green water, which I'm sure you will resolve.

I've been thinking of setting up a planted tank as of late. I would like to set something up in my living room. Actually, i've been thinking of even just doing a nice pond in the back yard. I'm looking to go another direction with the hobby.
