Bosco Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 First off, greetings! I just became a member of this great forum after discovering Aquarium Co-Op and starting my planted tank. What an amazing resource. I am new at the planted tank gig and have what is probably a basic (i.e. stupid) question. I have a 29 gallon tall and added several differant types of plants as per the Co-Op's recommendation. Other than one plant which had Anubis rot and replaced by the Co-Op (amazing service!), things are going well, I think. However, I noticed that my Java Ferns new growth is odd. The baby leaves seem translucent in spots. Not sure this is normal, of some deficiency? I have been dosing the recommend amount of fertilizer every week (the Co-Op brand). Could it be the water itself? I have about 20PPM or so of Nitrates, zero Ammonia and Nitrites, PH 7.4, KH 40PPM and GH at 75PPM or so? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! PS: If there is something really off on the water, feel free to comment as well:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 The baby leaves on all my Java Ferns start out similar and then get more opaque as they grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
