	Yellowish plants
friedrice Hobbyist Posts: 87 Kudos: 72 Votes: 3 Registered: 14-Aug-2004	I have 2 fish tanks, and the plants in the smaller tank is greener as compared to the larger tank. Just wondering what sort of nutrients am i missing for the plants which is making them "yellowish"?

Off the top of my head, though, I'd check nitrates first, since the smaller tank (more likely to be stocked a bit heavy) isn't having yellowing issues. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
