Gnaw Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Plants look to me like they're covered in algae... I dunno, its not hairy or anything its just a brown leaf? I also use this stuff called Pura PhosLock, its this really great stuff that removes phosphate in salt or fresh water aquariums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkstar Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 From the picture it looks like the brown is growing on the leaf... If it is just a brown leaf, then you may need to fertilize more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnaw Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 fertilize huh? I don't use any. I figured fish poo and light would be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkstar Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I didn't fertilize either until I realized the reason my Echinodorus ozelot leaves were disintegrating was due to a lack of iron lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been asking alot of questions about ferts, and this link sums it up! Comparing Fert. prices and Quick Grow Hydroponics Shop, Edmonton This place has been recommended to me by a few people on here. I worked out the prices and for containers half the size discussed, together they'll cost me about $25. oh, and with my 29G he said they'd last close to a year....and of course my plants will be gorgeous oh, and not that flourish is bad, thats what i have been using thus far and my plants are fine but, they could be alot better....
