plantgeek.net says that low nitrates are what bring out the red/pink
Red - AMMANNIA GRACILIS??
Hi All,
I have added the recommended amount of SEA CHEM iron to my 200ltr tank(5ml) daily and I still can't get the full red colour throughout
![]()
only at the tops. I have weak semi-green and semi-red leaves only. Setup is as follows;
- 5mls Sea Chem daily
- 8mls Sea Chem Potassium every two days
- 4mls Sea Chem Flourish twice a week
Water conditions are;
PH - 6.8
Temp - 28 Degrees
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 15~20ppm
Substrate is Eco Complete and gravel mix 6cm deep.
I used to dose it with iron and potassium twice a week for a month, but in the last week I increased it. Oh... sorry I didn't mention it I have;
- DIY Co2 which maintains 20~25ppm of Co2
- my lighting is more than sufficient with 4 - 39W (3ft)T5 Anodized Aluminum Reflectors and 4 - T5HO Gro-lux globes T5 HO ballasts.
Many Kindly Fishy Regards
Jason
