    Hello bros,

    I have some frogbits in my office 1ft tank, last week, all frogbits are green, but over the weekend or rather this Monday, I see some of them turned yellowish, the rest of my plant in the tank are green. Received some feedback that it may be not enough lighting. however, I switch the light 24 hours in the office, except during working hours, the lighting are much more stronger, as I have switch on 2 lighting. Any idea why frogbit turned yellowish.

    Frogbit hates new tap water freshly added with anti chlorine, they turn yellow followed by brown and melt away. They prefer aged water.

    Thanks Tony, I'm having aged water, yes, did add the water conditioner, 3 in one, anti chlorine is one of them, so, how should we recover the situation, as I change 20% of water once a week.

    Cut down on the water change volume and let them adapt to the new environment. I'm assuming your lighting is sufficient.

    Since the tank water is clear after last change, I intend to hold it for a month before making any change of water, I guess the lighting is sufficient, especially, during office hour.
