Mmiller2001 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Sorry, I posted in the wrong place. Sorry bud. Ignore the light stuff. Try dropping your light intensity. Give it 3 weeks and see what happens. Also, weekly water changes with gravel vacuuming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcdli Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Thank you and it will be all of them at 40 meaning all the colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I agree with the advice about the light. You’ll also want to remove the damaged leaves, that way the plant can put more energy into new growth. That type of algae can be stubborn but I’ve had luck removing the plants and scrubbing the leaves with a toothbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcdli Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Yeah I did some cutting yesterday I cut some roots too well trim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) I would drop blue to zero and work with the other colors. Here's mine, but try at peak 40%. If things improve, then raise it in 5% increments. Edited October 21, 2021 by Mmiller2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcdli Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 So drop all lifts to 40 percent and blue to 0 percent one more question is blue important or it’s not for plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
