Hi guys,
I've had my Rio 300 for almost a year now, I've been struggling to get my plants going in the right direction. I've posted previous questions on the forum and received advice which I've followed, however I'm still not happy with the results. Even though my anubias has flowered (I heard it's kind of rare??), the other plants don't seem to be happy haha.
Currently using Co2 diffuser in my tank (on for around 6 hours daily), dosing with excel 7.5ml daily, trace 20ml every 3 days, flourish 7.5ml every 3 days, and the stress zyme 45ml every 7 days - I'm following the directions, dosage and intervals as recommended on the bottles. I'm feeding every 2 days, frozen blood worms and shrimp pallets for my bottom feeders.
I have a powerhead which is moving the Co2 around, however I'm not sure if its in the right spot etc, I've tried moving it around and testing it in different areas to see if it would better the results, no such luck. x2 T5 Day lights are on for 6 hours followed by x2 T2 Blue lights for 4 hours.
The plants are looking a bit brown, some leaves have gone almost transparent, some look to have some dirt on them (is that BBA?), and just not looking at luscious and green as when I first put them in...
Any assistance is extremely and greatly appreciated!! thanks.
