Will Glosso grow with KH of 7, pH of 6.8?

[lamthuyduong]

I recieved my glosso from a fellow aquarist five days ago. Some of the glossostigmas are turning yellow, others are turning transparent and clear. I heard that glossos thrive in soft water with high light and CO2. Well, I have a constant KH of 7 degrees, a constant pH of 6.8, so the CO2 level comes out to be around 15-25 ppm. Temperature is around 80 farenheit. I have 45watts of normal flourescent above the 10 gallon. What's going on?

Your lighting looks good. The kH and pH don't seem to be the worry.
I guess the yellowing means the NO3 or PO4 is low. Did you dose those nutrients? You can also feed more to the fish to provide for more NO3. Are other plants doing OK?

me lookg for glosso also, anyone can spare some?

Cac co,

Lam, check the APC site for the response, NO3 and K and PO4.
GH amd KH do not matter up to 20 degrees etc.
Maybe more but that's as high as I went.

also, higher light==>> faster uptake, more NO3 is needed and more frequent dosing, don't be lam bing!
