  • Radican Swords

    Hello forum

    I have a 150G South American community tank with focus on Discus. I trying to grow Radican Swords but experiencing challenges.

    I run 4 Eheims and an Fx6 and one Eheim is loaded with ChemiPure Elite.

    The swords have holes and are melting often. I break off bad leaves and new ones grow but the bad leaves are unattractive and the frequency of melting is increased lately.

    I've used Seachem Excel, and the blend together. I recently added iron and as of today also Potassium. I'm also using Seachem root tabs and don't know what else to do. The substrate is a mixture of 3 part gravel and one part sand. .

    Is it possible all that chemical filteration which works wonders on creating crystal clear water may be removing macro nutrients.

    I have 5 juvenile Trapajos who rummage around roots and I have to fix but problems existed before the were brought in.

    The tank has been running since July.
    “Semper Procinctum”

    Sounds like a nitrogen and potassium deficiency with the plants getting holes and reabsorbed. Chemipure elite has a phosphate remover in it as well but I'm not sure if it does the same to the other macros.
