what is your fert regime like?
Hi all, just started a planted tank around 2 week, my moss turn color after 1-2 week I started this Tank.
Any body know what happen???
I used a canister Filter.
Temp is around 28deg, some time go to 29deg, some time drop to 27 deg.
Tank size is 2x1x1
Fan on 24hrs.
Light(38W) on 9hrs per day.
what is your fert regime like?
I'm using base fert, got put liquid fert also, the liquid fert name is 'Flora Nutriment'.Originally Posted by yeoyl87

Liquid Fert =
Am i need to put any other fert??
IMO, this is part of the process.
When the moss is introduced to a new environment, it needs to get "used" to the new conditions and some parts is sure to die off.
Once it is used to the condition, it will "recover" and starts to grow again.
Huh, but my planted tank already set up 2 week lioa, the 1st wk still look fine, now 2nd wk liao, only moss turn color...
May I know how long did it need to get used to this new planted tank.??
How often do you perform WC?
I suppose it depends on the tank conditions.
Anyway, give it a few more weeks and be more patient....
Your tank seems fine to me. Moss are generally not demanding plants. Maybe you can give it more time to adapt to your tank water.
Moss grows better in cooler temperture and with CO2. Why not get healthy moss and start again.
I change water every 3-4 days, every time change about 1/4 of tank size
like what bro eddyq says, get a frsh batch and start again? Maybe this batch of moss is sick.
I also just started growing moss, had the same problem during the first two weeks, was gonna remove it then suddenly I saw some green bits at the end of the moss "stalks", now after about 4 weeks they are green and nice. I started a moss wall two weeks ago, now most of the moss looks like yours (brownish) with very minimal growth, must be patient.
Mine is eaten alive by algae...
I should be working not posting
I think it normal especially if the moss is the emersed type or due to heat from handling/transport. If you held on to the moss for too long, heat from your hand damages it. Right now, can still see green bits, this means, it can still make it. Just be patient for now.

Hi
I just do WC this morning, saw some small green bits come out from the moss. Really nice, really amazing, the small green bits is oustanding color, light green.
But most of the parts still brown in color. Will wait and see how...
if it got small green bits coming out.. that mean it will be fine..just give it some time and you will have alot full of moss... happy growing..
Hi all
Just found out this morning, My moss still have the brown color, now the brow color turn some hairly colourless things liao.
O no, is it algea?
I had set up this tank for 17 days liao, is it time to put some OTO, or shrimp?
Thanks in advance...
Be patient.
Moss is not a plant that grows leap and bounce within 17 days. Don't harass it and leave it alone for a month. Like dinosaur said, it is in its adaption stage and it is part of the process of withering and growing back. See some bright green tips is sign of growing. Give it a month and the green bud will be on every tip and next thing you know you have a bush of moss.
Brown turning colourless is likely to be melting down, my guess.

Ya, will give it more time. Thanks. But is it advisable to take out the Brown colour potion.
Bro, i think you bought a poor quality moss from a lfs... the moss probably is at the lfs for some time without lights and water change...next time look carefully before buying the moss..
Cheers
