  1. Yes, all pointed to a huge Phosphorus peak when i didn't do WC for maybe 3 weeks. i have nothing to measure it but from what i googled it had to be the issue. after all help i had so far here i started to do 50% WC every day and went back to 60ML of all bottles of PMDD and EasyLife Profito. Looks a bit better or at least i slowed it down the dying process. leaves seem better. as i mention my other strong lights broke and i use a very weak one right now. so from what i understand, the plants consume less CO2 with lesser light? maybe thats why it looks better too. Im setting up a CO2 injection to my filter too now to add more CO2. just wait for the glue to dry.... I noticed that the stem of the plants and the older leaves, even the green, are turning blackish now thou? was that the effect of the NO2/NO3 peak? or something else?
  2. Didn't dose at all because it was so much new nutrients in the bags of soil.i put under the orange pellets. Yeah I'll try go back to WC Yeah, that was 3 days ago before the good lamps broke. Now 2 days later I had these very bad measurements.
  3. My lamp died yesterday morning so im using a really bad ramp that came with the aquarium. was busy with work so didnt do the reading until now and the chart doesn't look good at all.... Even have plant who suppose to keep the NO2 and 3 down.... NO2 0.5mg/L NO3 75mg/L GH >4 KH 1.5 ph 6.8 chlorine 0mg/L CO2 <15mg/L I change the dosing or the methods after maybe 2 months of try. Except the WC i did every day for a week. Past 2 weeks im not doing at all because i dont know what to dose even. Nothing seem to work. The tank is 450L. I usually do 3 wc/week about 30%. I have tried to dose all 4 bottles of PMDD with Easylife Profito with every WC. Even try to over-feed to see if algae appear. But nothing. Still the same. Have no idea whats missing then? Now i have these NO2 and NO3 issues too. Think my tank is dying all together..... I have also not a clue how to increase the CO2 i pump out max now and the reading wont change. im looking for new lamps now too i think im gonna try what MD fish tanks (youtube) do and use 2x8000Lm LED spotlights. Added a picture how it looked 3 weeks ago. When everything seemed in balance.
  4. That's exactly what I do. I run it 24/7 but I guess i need to inject much much more. I wonder if moonshine mixture can even produce enough... What's been so odd is all other plants thrive. They are bright green and grow so fast! And not a single algea. So the tank is perfect condition for them... its only the red plants who are much more difficult to get going. Like a wrote. They grow good but die just as fast. Make no sense ...
  5. Well, I'm feeling dumb now.... I have actually been reading the co2 backwards. Its actually to low co2 injections. It's at <15 But I have it at max... Is my tank to big for just 1? How do i increase it more?
  6. Tried all bottles. Tried only KNO3. Tried only micro+ . No change. JBL proscan + sticks. GH is 18 and KH >4
  7. Hi, been trying to figure out why only my red plants are dying. Rest of the aquarium is booming with growth absolutely no algae. All green plants are growing super fast. But the red plants just wont stay alive. They grow and are super red but the leaves just get black and die. Even swapped out the substrate to soil bags in the bottom without success. I have steady C02 and 2x 9000LM lights 9h day. Good filtration with 3layer of bio and 2 sponge. I tried PMDD I tried potassium I tried tropical premium nutrition nothing works(still 0 algae at high dosage). Even did daily WC for a week without success. Also no WC for 3 weeks that ended in to high phosphorus levels and leaves just melted away on other plants and i had to starve my fish and go back to WC 3x week. Water have been at good quality as far I seen. Except high on co2 but the fishes doesn't seem to care because the get so much oxygen from the plants. I'm out of ideas and about to throw them away and never use red plants ever again... Edit: also tried higher temperature around 29 degrees Celsius and low around 22. Still no change.
