These seem fine to me

Some patches appear to be dry like... somewhat scaly I guess.. Maybe I didn't plant them right something?

I'm using ADA soil and water nearly up to the substrate line I keep a slight opening on the top because I noticed it was getting too moist in the tank.

Should I be concerned? :icon_conf

Seems that more patches are getting dark green and or black. (not brown). Seems like most of the leaves are getting flaky.

What could it be?
:icon_eek:

Yeah DSM = is dry start method. :icon_mrgr

Yes I had purchased them submerged.

I'm hoping they are just going through a temporary shock or something from being submerged to immersed and will be fine :icon_sad:

 

[AquaPlants]

Yes I hope so :icon_eek:

 

[AquaPlants]

They are getting worst please help!

I'm not sure about misting as much. From what I'm reading is that hc doesn't appreciate being soaked all the time. I also noticed everything in the tank is staying quite moist even the stones with the top slightly open during the day. I just hope the plants come back to life lol! It's been day 4 now...

Yea I don't get how the plant being an under or above water plant have issues of being too dry and or too wet lol if that makes any sense! I guess Ill just have to hope for the best.

I think I'm starting to see new growth though so ill update when I am sure of new growth

Day 7 of DSM for my HC, and unsure of the results so far.

I pretty positive there is some new growth going on but it sure is slow progress.

As you can see in the pictures below some look completely melted while the one seems to have new growth. The last picture is just blurry :bounce: BUT its nice and green and there are some patches still remaining that way.

Im using ADA 60P with ADA soil, and Fugeray planted plus with blue red, and white lights on for about 13 hours a day. I've been misting once or every other day and opening the plastic wrap once or every other day to let air exchange.

Very interesting stuff! I haven't seen any web like fungas on the hc but also did not know to look for it. I will check now I know what to look for when I get home from work tonight.

I also noticed my hc isn't near as wet as the one in the photo.

I'll try and take better photos later and repost.

Thanks

I tried to get better pictures of the plants up close but can't seem to get them to be clear enough.

I am not finding any web like stuff growing on or near the HC. Is Necrosis always visible in web like form?

I noticed I do have some growth coming. I think I have a few patches that are completely dead.. Like 3 or 4 of them. Ill wait it out for another week and see what happens.

I am also spraying with carbon excel diluted with DI water. I wonder what would happen if I sprayed peroxide on the plant?

 

[AquaPlants]

Yes I pulled 2 small patches that appear to have NO GREEN at all in it. I observed it and found nothing as for as webs go. the roots were white and even grown down into the substrate... I think I just wasted 2 patches lol.

So you guys think peroxide would prevent fungus from growing?

 

[AquaPlants]

Ok cool! I never had browning appear in the tank. It just went dry and scaly at first then a bit translucent then died. Kinda looked like a plant starving for water and I'm hoping that's all it was!

Will excel help prevent fungus?

 

[AquaPlants]

HC is definitely getting new growth! I see little sprouts coming out over the dead patches and the other healthier patches. This is 9th day in I believe. Ill post pics next Saturday to show how much progress.
