Nutrient Deficiency - 09-12-2007, 03:00 PM

Hi.

I had some nutrient deficiency recently. My rotala macrandra had its leaves schriveled together and almost all new growth were small leaves. My pink plants were coming out green and the green plants came out whitish. Some of the plants started to grow downwards!

Adding to the tank 3x week:
1/16 tsp KNO3
1/8 tsp K2SO4
4ml TMG

My watersource contains:
5ppm NO3
34ppm Ca
7ppm Mg

Preassure CO2, 2x18w T8 and 2x24w T5, 30 Gallon tank.

I had REALLY high phosphates but ive taken it away and only add 0.02 tsp once a week.
Below is a picture of what it looked like (sorry its so big).
What was I (am I) doing wrong?
