Having 2nd thoughts about my dosing

[Sleepy_lancs]

Hi All,

I need some expert advise here. I am getting confused signals or perhaps I am just being paranoid.

Tank is 3(L) x 3(B) x 2(H)
Lights is 6 tubes 39 watts T5.

I notice my crypts and anubias are not growing straight leaves anymore. They seem to be wavy and looks a bit odd. Looking up the web gives me a few possibilities but they don't seem to add up:
1. Too high K
2. Too high NO3
3. Too low NO3
4. Calcium deficiency.

Current Dosing:
Saturday: WC, add 1.25 tsp Seachem Equilibrium, 15ml Lushgro Aqua, 4ml KNO3 (5% concentration from Lushgro Series), 1/2 tsp Potassium Phosphate
Sunday, Tuesday: 6 ml Lushgro Micro
Monday, Wednesday: 15ml Lushgro Aqua, 4ml KNO3 (5% concentration from Lushgro Series), 1/2 tsp Potassium Phosphate.
Thursday, Friday: no dosing

They say pictures says a thousand words, so I show you some shots I took on the leaves.

If you can even tell me what Crypts they are, I would be grateful.

I noticed also my Marsilea Hirsuta new leaves are getting lighter green unlike the older leaves I had.

Does anyone in Singapore dose Seachem Equilibrium since our water is soft?

So what do you think?

OOps.. I have other parameter that may be of use:

I forgot to mention my lighting hours are 8 hours. 6pm to 2am. Continuous. CO2 injected from 5pm to 1am.
PH is at 6.1 after 9pm
KH is at 4.

I made another mistake... The Lushgro Aqua should be 25 ml not 15ml. Sigh.. something is not right with the connection between finger and brain.

[Shadow]

are you referring to the crypt wavy leaf? I thought that how it suppose to be depending on the species

[Sleepy_lancs]

Really!!! I hope that is true. What about Anubias exhibiting the same symptoms?

[hobbit6003]

You kidding me right? Your crypts looks fabulous!

There is nothing wrong with your crypt.

Sleepy_lancs Bro,

I have the same species of Crypto as well. I asked for Crypto Becketii 'Petchi' the last time round, but they gave me this. Recently I just realised it may not be the species I have asked for. But nevertheless, I'd second the rest, your Cryptos are growing good. Mine's this healthy as well. I don't see any photos of your Anubias. But if it's new growth Anubias with twisted/wavy leaves, chances are there may be two kinds of deficiency;

1. Lack of CO2 (New growth will show twisted pale or stunted new growth.
2. Calcium/Traces deficiency (Twisted pale new growth)
3. K, Mg Overdose (Twisted pale new growth)

Post some photos of your wavy Anubias so we can all help to determine?

Hi Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I have been busy.

This is my wavey Anubias:

I also took shots of the strange colours (center lighter green than the sides) of Coffeefolia and hole ridden crypt balansae. I think its NO3 deficiency since many of my plants have holes. I have recently up the NO3 dosing with 8ml (per dose) of 5% KNO3, 3 times a week.
