Iv jus notced that My Ozelot Red has some major holes in its leaves.
Also my Ozelot Green has some browning and yellowing tips on the leaves.
 
Can anybody tell me what deficency this is???
Or maybe a hungry plec? Altho my BN, L288 and butterfly plec have never touched plants before so think this is very unlikely.
 
I dose macro and micro daily, mixing my own with dry salts.
I dose Easycarbo daily dosing maximum recommended amount.
Lighting, i have 4x 39W T5s. 2 tropical 2 Sunlight. and 2x 24W T5s. 2 Tropical 2 Sunlight
This is over a 600L tank with a photo period of 8hours daily.
 
All other plants are thriving and growing very fast and very well. I have good strong current NO dead spots that im aware of.
Flow is approx 6000LPH
 
Any ideas??

But I dose liquid carbon? Maximum amount I can.
 
Last time I remember, holes in the leafs were due to lack of CO2. You not interested in FE CO2?
 
No been there done that too much of a pain in the @#$! Lol
 
Lack of CO2, or too much light.
 
Same thing.
 
Interesting. Iv only been dosing maximum amount of liquid carbon for about a week. I was slowly increasing trying to avoid my vallis melting. Maybe the plants jus havnt adjusted to the increase in carbon yet?
 
Vallis and liquid CO2 is a bad mix anyway.
 
Na its not honest. Iv done it before and im doing it now and my vallis is going nuts, healthiest iv ever seen them.. Like I keep saying to people the trick is to add it slowly then it dosent melt them. Add 1/3 full dose week 1. Then 2/3 full dose week 2. Then full dose week 3 onwards. Works everytime. If you throw the full recommended dosage in straight away then yeah its not good for vallis.
 
So if your dosing like that, that would make sense why theres holes in the plant :p
 
Im not dosing like that now lol (bangs head on wall repeatedly) lol. Thats how you begin the dosing to avoid melting. Im now pass that stage and am dosing full recommended dosage daily. Lol oh dear oh dear lol
 
All am going to say is, I never believed in liquid CO2. I think its water with someone breathing into a bottle :p
 
Its liquid carbon not fairy dust lol it works whether you believe in it or not lol

You do make me laugh
 
I love making people laugh, I love your tank too. ALSO, I removed some wood for my tank and its up for grabs soon :p
