On my 29gal over the past few months the leaves on the Ludwigia repens, it green though have all melted some grow back, but there are just stems there now. The Cryptocoryne wendetii 'Bronze', Cryptocoryne lutea both have been getting holes and lately I have been pulling about 4 leaves out because of melting. However the Bacopa carolina is growing like crazy with no problems. At first I thought it was a K def, but I have been dosing every week and it is slowly getting worse. Also dose Excel currently. :confused: :shark:
ph 7.5 nitrates 30-40
kh 7 nitrites 0
gh 10 ammonia 0
Phosphates 2.5-3
Thanks :bowing: :bowing:

Doesn't iron def turn the leaves yellow w/ green veins? The color of all my leaves are fine. :hang:
