You said you add CO2,do you add ferts containing N&P?

 

[ryan136]

yea i do add ferts n it has every think in i no plants like lol. N,P,K,Fe,Mg

How long you had the plant in your tank?

 

[ryan136]

bout one year i had them in thw tank.

Strange, are they being over shadowed by anything?

If those leaves are going clear - It'll be a CO[sub]2[/sub] issue. So look at improving flow, lower light, increase CO[sub]2[/sub] etc etc

From what I read Stargrass turns clear if the nitrates are low but I may be wrong.

i hav high flow got a 1400 lph in a 150l tank. got high light n tge co2 is on bout 30ppm - 26ppm.

its looks like its spred to other plant like me dwaf sag. its slowin down tho not spredin as fast as it was. notin it over top of it to nlblock the light too.

i hav stopped addin ferts cuz off bba in the tank gone mad. maybe that it? low nitrates

Your BBA is caused by low or fluctuating CO[sub]2[/sub] - stopping ferts in a planted tank only causes algae.
If Steveo's reading is correct then a lack of Nitrate may also point at the clear leaves....although the BBA still says CO[sub]2[/sub] also....

Start to think why your CO[sub]2[/sub] is an issue - Flow / not enough in general / lighting too high.

When I got BBA, my nitrAtes were bottom level, barely 5ppm on the test and I wasn't adding any ferts to the tank.
