I've started a new nano tank (30l) with dry start method. Some parts of my plants has some white stuff as you can see this on the picture.
Is it mould(mold - i do not know the proper world) ?
If yes, some ventillation will solve this problem (the tank covered with foil)?
If no, what could it be?
(tank: 30l, tropica soil, some stones, UG(utricularia graminifolia), led light ~10hours a day, dsm started 2-3 weeks ago. In every 2-3 days i sprinkle some RO water on it. Every 3d sprinkling is done with RO water + micro/macro nutrients solution. Now, 10/3 part of the plants are affected.)
what does it feel like because to me it just looks like bubbles. Personally if it where mold I would just let it be cause (and im sure in a world where everything goes wrong it could go all over) in my emersed setups I have some algae and mold on old stems or leaves, but to me that's jus the life cycle so I don't worry to much. Never has "over taken" a whole plant or whole tank.
Thanks for your replies.
If i touch it it feels like the plant is "rotten" . It does not have any "tension". I will make a video, or i will remove that part and make better pics.
I've just sprayed some water in the tank, the water level could not be seen in the substrate :/
What can i do with that water? How can i reduce its amount or remove it? :/
Or these plants are already dead and i have to restart it?
Thanks all for your responses!!!!! @Darkblade84: "Air the aquarium" - is it enough the remove the foil from the top of the aquarium or shall i use some ventillation equipment? @mott: I dont know. I put only a little nutrients to the water (lets say, micro-macro nutrients, enough for about a ~40l tank's daily doses, and i sprayed only a little part of this solution to test it on the plants, so i don't think that the fungus began to grow because this :/)
I tried to reduce the amount of water so i removed the top foil from the tank, but unfortunately the top of the plants are dried a bit :/
I think either should work. Use what you have available.
