Mmiller2001 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 We need more information to diagnose any problems. Tank size, GH, KH, pH and what are you dosing and which substrate. Also, we need the basic parameters, Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmiller2001 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I think what you are seeing is normal. The tips, when you have good light, start to go pinkish. Stay the course but do 50% water changes twice a week and drop light duration to 6 hours. Then ramp back up when ammonia is gone. Once ammonia is gone, dose very lean then ramp up.
