Hi
I have a big problem with one of my Java Ferns... Its looking very sick.
This happened round a week ago and Ive only had this plant (which was sold to me attached to a piece of wood) for around 2-3 weeks.
Here is a Pic.
Currently I do not own a Phosphate or Nitrate Kit. But i was holding back on those as I thought of purchasing them after my Universitys BioChemistry department gives me an answer as to whether or not i can order dry fert chemicals off their supplier. (not sure if this sentence made sense)
My pH is at 7.1 and my kH at 15... which gives me a CO2 concentration of 36ppm.
I think one very possible cause of this may have been from me overdosing Iron. Nearly Two weeks ago i bought the JBL Ferropol in liquid form and added it to my tank. The second day i did a partial water change and added a full dose of the Ferropol again to the tank. The following days i dosed irregularly... jus dosed half the full dose when i remembered.
Now i have read that iron Overdose can cause problems? Is this possibly what happened with my Java?
Please Help.
Thanks
