Hi,
I just upgraded my tank to a 40B. I made the switch to AS Amazonia. Replaced my GLA ceramic diffuser with a Cerges reactor, and upgraded my lights to a BML 6500 Dutch XB hung 5" above water. I'm at 75% light power, 6 hour photo period. CO2 at lots of bubbles per sec. PH and KH chart says I'm close to 30 ppm. Drop checker yellow green.
I bought a few stem plants from my really great LBS. they were very red when bought. I've had them 4 days, and new growth is green. Is this a sign of too low light or low CO2? Or can't one tell at this point.
Floura:
Rotilia roundfolia
Ludwigia palustris
Bacopa amplexicaulis
Nesaea pedicellata
All showing loss of red. New growth green.
Thanks
