    I in need of desperate help! The glossos which I've been putting so much effort in have carpeted nicely, but they're starting to yellow!
    I dose seachem trace 2ml daily
    Seachem phosphate 2ml daily
    Borneowild growth ( organic carbon , calcium and magnesium) 2ml daily
    Borneowild essence k (potassium and trace) 2ml daily
    I use JBL 7 balls as root ferts

    Do I need to dose iron or nitrogen?
    Which product would you recommend?
    Ideal ppm to achieve?

    Help help glossos are yellowing!

    Re: Glosso yellowing!

    You do need to dose iron and N. Just dose the normal amount macro, micro, n, p, k, trace element will do as they are not really hard to maintain. Did you trim them to prevent them overlapping and new grown?
    Aquascaper?

    Re: Glosso yellowing!

    Yes trimming are done to regent overlapping , I also changed from a glass diffuser to sera active flora reactor , currently powered by an atman cf 600, could it be co2 problem?

    Boss, post a picture of a section of the yellowing glosso. much easier to tell...
    the rough guess will be always arrowed at N and Iron.

    Anyway, i found this online. (Kudos to the maker of this version, all credits go to him)

    Hi glosso king! I'll upload the pictures when time permits
    I feel that it's calcium pale growth, but seachem trace doesn't provide, should I put crushed corals?

    Re: Glosso yellowing!

    please help save my glossos! the left side of the tank is doing good, the center portion is getting real yellow, starting dosing seachem iron and nitrogen 1.5ml daily for my 90L tank, no change so far. could co2 supply be the problem? i switched from a diffuser to a sera flora activ reactor 500, at 2 - 3 bps, glossos are pearling thou

    daily dose summary
    seachem trace 2ml
    seachem iron 1.5ml
    seachem nitrogen 1.5ml
    BW growth ( C , Mg , Ca) 2ml
    BW essence k ( trace and k ) 2ml

    photoperiod 7am - 12am , 5pm to 10 pm(10hours)

    regarding nitrogen , would increasing the livestocks help?

    Re: Glosso yellowing!

    This one my eyes have problem checking... yellowish abit only to me...
    I see your also splitting photo period (reminds me of my glosso timing so much)

    IMO, i will up the fert dosage. But that's in a personal preference. but before that i will do a good trim, starting to look like seaview's glosso horror before they decom it :P

    Re: Glosso yellowing!

    hmmm... maybe +0.5ml to iron and nitrogen. then observe if any change...
    i won't really say pearling is defined as healthy plants, but rather saturated of co2/o2 in water that the o2 produced cannot dissolve back in. Thus the pearling.
    Co2 in abundance is good for plants, but if the remainder of what they need is in short supply then "good day!"

    Yupp shook to see yellow! Means previously the I indicator showing green is due to the intake of the glosso, after trip plants still look yellow, what could be limiting iron and nitrogen?

    I have a small bag of biohome in my filter , does the BB break down nitrogen ferts?

    Actually should take few days to see reactions so maybe by tuesday.

    My opinion is different plant, different reaction speed.

    Hey Felix , the cheaper method of ferts is EI dosing, where can I get these chemicals? Does seaview carry them, is seachem equilibrium considered ?

    Can try the mmn mix numbskull ordered. But that lack P, I posted a picture refer on his thread in aquascaping for further details.

    IMO, I will refer as dry fert. EI is more of a dosing regime. Time to read up

    you can get Ca(NO3)2, K2SO4 and KH2PO4 such as lushgro from hydroponic shop.

    local online fert shop:
