 | Transparent Leaves Problem |
mughal113   Big Fish Posts: 343 Kudos: 160 Votes: 64 Registered: 16-Jun-2006   | Hi, The plants are growing well in my tank. But the new leaves appearing on vallesneria are not full in texture. They look like semi transparent. I use PMDD fertilization and sugar/yeast CO2. What nutrient deficiency can cause this problem? Thanks. |

It may have outstripped those nutrients and you are now seeing the signs of that deficiency. Frank  -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |
