The Big Figfetti
Fish Fanatic
So Iām not sure whatās happening. But Iām positive that my ammonia is high due to plant die off.
Tank is 2 weeks old. Plants from the start and Iāve added plants along the way.
Iāve been between 0 and .25 with ammonia, daily, with daily water changes. But the last 2 days, Iāve noticed that a lot of the plants are dying off. I removed several Monty carlo and a few others that just were fading away. And during that process, Iāve been between .25 and .50.
Todays water change was the first time that Iāve seen little improvement after a water change. It was at .50 and then went down to .25. And thatās with a 50% water change.
Am I not changing enough water?
These are the plants still left in the tank. Some of them have soft leaves toward the bottom. Some are yellowing and dying off at the bottom.
I took a close up of the red stem one, and the tiny white sponge looking things that are growing on it. Not sure what those are.
I was able to decrease the amount of diatoms that have been bombarding my tank. I think it lessened when I stoped adding flourish to the tank. But now I wonder if the plants need flourish, since they arenāt doing well.
