Why do my plants turn brown at the tip of the leaves??

[mistahoo]

Possibly too much light, lack of CO2, or they are getting readjusted. What kind of plants and when did you add the plants?

[xavinovic]

I added the plants 2 weeks ago. I'm doing 8hrs of photoperiod and it's DIY co2 the color on my drop checker is greenish. I'm looking to buy a regulator soon. I'm also EI dry dosing macro and micros.

here are the pictures, the last picture is from above the water. i just notice that im starting to have freen hair algea too.. :/

in the first pic you have some java fern, it may get holes and brown if the water chemistry changes from what it was growing in. newer leaves should be fine of all is right. it does like to be mounted on wood or rocks though, its roots are for anchoring itself only and may rot in the gravel. what is your nitrates at? thats what some of the other browning looks like. the anubius will grow algae like crazy if theres too much pollution. you may need to get some water tests going. also make sure that your DIY CO2 bubbles into another bottle half filled with water before going into the tank. if the yeast or sludge from that gets into the tank then it could cause pollution.

Yea I have the DIY Co2 going to a water bottle before its diffuse on I to water. I do test my water!! What levels do you want to know??

I do have the DIY Co2 going to a water bottle before being diffuse, I do test my water what levels would you like to know??

The basic things to list are:

Temp:
Ph:
Ammonia:
Nitrite:
Nitrate:

with these plants, i would do away with the co2 altogether. mine grow great without it.

[xavinovic]

Temp: 75-80
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 5ppm
Ph: 7.4
Tds: 280

They look like they're just adjusting considering how easy going those plants are. What kind of lighting do you have on there?

[xavinovic]

Nitrate it's over 80ppm

[allysangels]

Nitrate it's over 80ppm

i thought it was 5ppm??? what happened?

Re: Plants help.!!!

Uh... yeah... what happened? 5 to over 80 is a huge jump that can't happen within a couple of days unless you just dumped a whole can of food in there
