I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my wallichi. I have a 175w 10k mh 32" from substrate, injecting co2, dosing npk, csm+b via ei. It was pearling and putting off new stems until I switched lighting(was using 23w 6500k CFLs) so I'm wondering if its from to much light. My AR is looking brownish on the top too. After all the work/$$$ I've put into the tank I'm very unhappy with it and is quit embarrising, makes me wanna go back to low tech. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
It could be the plants reaction to the sudden increase in light intensity... 23W to 175W is quite a big jump, along with the increases in Co2 and ferts.
Perhaps after a period of adjustment, those plants will transition and grow new leaves which are adapted to using the higher intensity light. I guess you'll probably just have to wait and observe further.
