Help! Glosso losing green

[AhVy]

Hi all!

I started my planted tank about 2months back. Glosso doing good. However, i noticed some patches turning yellowish green instead of the normal lush green.
Anyone can advice what could be the possible cause?

For fert, i started off with regular iron, p, k and trace. But lately, i only dose once a week. Could this be a cause?

See photos -

Suspect might be trace and K, the rest think quite unlikely. Perhaps light dosage daily? Done any trimming yet? Probably time to do so for those melting away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qlz1pGY01M (2:25)

Tongyang suggested what I would do if I just took trace supplements off the menu.

The picture is just a reference if it is seen across the tank.

Btw, credits to original maker of that picture. It's not done up by me. Kudos to him

Ohhh... Hmmm then i'm going to trim tonight!

By the way... Would dosing excel toge with CO2 be the cause also?

For glosso no, unless you overdose by 3-4 times the suggested dosage.
Their less sensitive then HC.

When you change something, something bad happens. you turn back and check why it happen. Rather then over dumping stuff into the tank (which is even i have that habit )
Did you change anything else besides the reduction of fert routine? eg: bio load, feeding routine.

Can i ask something related, your dosing dry ferts or premixed like those in seachem range?

Hmm.. Yeah..Felix.. i was trying to trace back what i did... But I think i did too many things thatbi couldnt narrow down! Haha

Anyway, i dosing seachem. How huh? Is that a concern?? Dry fert?

Don't worry, plants seldom melt overnight.. Especially with a semi matured tank like yours.

I am just nosy

Hey Ahvy, how do you intend to trim your glosso?

My glosso need some trimming too, but I dont know where to begin.

I did some research and the most common method is to do a savage trimming from the top like a shave-down, but it will be ugly because there will be alot of half cut leaves, and the underlayer is usually sparse and messy. I can't bear to do it man!

The chart is good!

How long is your soil used? Could be soil ran out of nutrients?

Trim everything at one go and just do the regular stuff (fert WC), but don't look at the tank.
The rock nice, but the plant behind it makes the rock look small.

I like your the HG near the rock & foreground.
If just focus that zone and view towards foreground, actually very nice (taking out the guppy blocking the view :P )

Hi Ahvy,

Any update on your glosso?
Mine having the same problem. It was growing fine for 1 month and suddenly begins to melt in patches and spreading. My tank is only 1month plus old, 20L with co2 injection.
