After reading up I believe this is a calcium deficiency? I dose macros and micros only once a week each. I do have barrs gh booster, so maybe start dosing the tank with this as well weekly?

I'm not using RO water, I do have a GH kit I can use. My tap water is usually 3-4 drops. I'll check this tank. I dose around 1.5g of potassium nitrates once a week. I use the light EI dosing for this tank with KN03 and KH2p04 on Sundays and csm+b on Mondays and that's it. Not sure exactly how long they have been doing this but I have a 10 gallon dirted tank that the plants look the same and I do nothing but top that tank off and feed it. And I have not added magnesium to the tank

5 drops turns the water green for gh

It's a 20 long

The 10 gallon

Nitrates are around 30ppm and no I don't have the other kit on hand

It's a hybrid ludwigia. Ludwigia x arcurata. Or something like that. But the shot from the top has a few different plants

Yeah man, lemme square this deficiency away and I've got tons and tons of it

I usually do a 50% water change weekly. And honestly once my tanks have been going for a few months I never add dechlorinator. And the could be why my dirted tank is like that. I just too off straight tap. So when I do a water change this week then I'll add some dechlorinator and see what happens. If I wanted to add the gh booster how do u think I should dose it since I only dose weekly. But the tanks I've had over the last year I've never seen this happen before and like I've said I didn't use the dechlorinator. So I'll give it a shout

That sure does look like what I've got going on. So if I simply start adding dechlorinator then the leaves should un curl

 

[tattooedfool83]

So should I add dechlorinator now or just let it run it's course for the week?

 

[tattooedfool83]

So then here's a question for u, I run a python from the sink. How would u go about that? Just add the dechlorinator to the water after the change? If I had the room I'd just get a 55 gallon Rubbermaid can and age water. But no room for that yet

Yeah true, I've never given it much thought. I have 16 tanks running and have only lost a handful of fish. But I like the python bc this tank only sits a couple inches off the floor so can't siphon to a bucket. Guess from now on I'll give the python to a bucket a go and dechlor from there
