TeeJay Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Ok everyone trying to figure out what nutrient my plants in this tank are lacking and which hair alge I'm dealing with. I dose easy green once a week 1ml and 2ml potassium for my Java ferns. Root tabs once a month from r the sword. All 3 pics are the same 10 gal tank.

Guppysnail Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 This may help give a quick remission for algae so you can figure the rest out. Here is a short version and the full article thread we put together. place plants fully submerged in plain seltzer water. I use spoon to weight them down. Then place in a dark room for 9-12 hours. Then return to the tank. That’s It kills the algae and critters can then consume it or it dissipates over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) @Seattle_Aquarist we need you! Would it make sense that this is caused by excess potassium? The paleness on the first photo is the biggest deficiency I see. Especially being a fast growing stem. @TeeJaywhat are nitrates at when you test?
