Green Crypts Have Taken A Sudden Turn For The Worse

[buffmaxwell]

I have had some green crypts in my tank for about 2 weeks and they've been doing great until today. I looked at them just now and they're starting to brown out in places and start to not look good. Also my tank has been co2 fed but I haven't had it hooked up for the last 4 days becuz I was waiting for my flucal diffuser to come in.

Also on a side note there has been a recent algae spike in the last couple of days as well (green&brown)
But my hairgrass and Christmas moss seems to be thriving

Also I'm running 58 watts on my 10 gal with weekly flourish dosings

This would be from co2 deficiency. You stopped giving the plants co2 with nearly 60 WPG so the algae took over and the crypts started to die.

Is there. Anyway to reverse this I got my co2 hooked back up today!!!

Also I was using a small airdrome to diffuse my co2 but I was afraid I might have been over gassing the tank even tho all the fish seem quite happy. And I have pretty delicate fish. I got the fluval 20 diffuser today and it seems to be quite different than what I'm use to, as there does seem to be any visual diffusion yet I know it's working because I see the chambers fill with co2 then it fill with water when the co2 supply is shut off.

Do you think the fluval is a better choice than the air stone???

Does anybody have experience with these diffusers

Also I read somewhere that if your seeing a constant stream of bubbles diffusing your over gassing your tank. Keeping in mind I have a 10 gallon.
