Re: [APD] Aquatic-Plants Digest, Vol 51, Issue 16
Hi All.
Um. I don't test co2 levels so I don't know. All I can say is the
tank is pH neutral and it stays that way. It's polly around 30-40
bubbles per minute in hte line before the Quiet One Pump. I am not
The pH does not budge and the water isn't very hard at all.
I've been through a couple fert regimes but discontinued then both, I
had been using the old Krib PMDD then stopped when it didn't help and
did Kent leaf zone for a bit.
I have to say I have about 6 years of planted tanks behind me and I
have never seen it like this. Usually it clears after a while.
I think I have 12 hours more or less. Maybe a bit more.
thanks and I hope someonehas a suggestion. Drop it down to 10 hours?
What do people think?
