Hi guys,
My tank has been running for about 6 weeks and was planted from day 1. The plants have all been growing well (so well in fact that i've been trimming them back) but the dwarf ambulia (which started as a a lovely bright green) has been gradually turning brown, despite showing good growth.
Any idea why that would be ? Details of the tank below/parameters:
Tank: Aqua Marin Fresh 1200
Aquarium dimensions: 120 x 50 x 48 cm
Volume: 300 L
Lighting: 59w Fluval Plant 3.0 Bluetooth LED (on for 9hrs p/day)
Filter: Oase BioMaster Thermo External Filter 600
Temp 27
Ph 8.2 (i realise this is too high, not really sure why it is high noting my tap water is 7.6. Haven't yet taken any steps to bring it down)
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20
Stocklist - 23 x cardinal tetra, 3 x yoyo loach, 1 x oto catfish, 15 amano shrimp.
Photo attached. Welcome any thoughts.
Cheers
Jake
