Erio Type 2

Post by jcali10 »

Now it's been almost a month and I see no noticable growth, and the leaves are turning a light brownish color.

I dose PPS PRO and CSM+B daily, pressurized CO2, and 3 wpg of lighting for 9 hrs a day.

My other plants: fissidens, xmas moss, blyxa, lobelia c. small form, spiral vals, bacopa carolinia and c. wendti are all fine.

Is it a root feeder? For substrate, I am using Soil Master Select with some laterite and peat moss

It needs soft water. What is the KH of your water?

It also really likes CO2. When you're checking your KH, check your CO2 levels.

I will check the kH tonight. The CO2 I will have to read in the morning after it has been on an hour or so.

I'm not at home right now, but I believe the drop checker instructions say to use 3 or 4 drops. This seems odd to me.
