Myriophyllum - Color Problem
Nov. 22, 2002.
Dear All:
I am having some problem with my plants.
1. Myriophyllum Aquaticum (Green)
2. Myriophyllum Tuberculatum (red)
When I planted the above, both had perfectly bright
colors respectively. But despite good growth, both
are now kind of dirty brown.
I am using Pottassium Sulphate (1/4 tsp) every day,
KNO3 every alternate day, and Micro Nutrients (2 ml),
and Fe (1/2 ml) per day. I have pressurized CO2
delivery through a reactor. Lighting is about 144
watts (4 X 36 Watts CFLs). Tank capacity is abou 200
Lts.
All other plants are doing fine, but the above.
Pls suggest what I should do to get their original
colors back.
Thanks & regards,
Sunil Baboo.
