Ludwigia glandulosa

  • pH: 6.7 morning, 6.9 evening
  • Temp:
  • KH:
  • GH: 7
  • NH4:
  • NO2:
  • NO3: 5-10 (color almost 10)
  • PO4: 0.75
  • Iron:
  • Dosing: 5 mL Flourish, 15 mL iron chelate (1.5 ppm)

Notes:
The new leaves are growing in nice and red on the Ludwigia glandulosa that I got last week. The older leaves are green on top, and red on the bottom side. In the picture, you can see the fuzz/beard algae problem I've been having this week, probably due to the problem of low CO2 levels over the past several days. It might have also come in attached to the new plants I received last week. You can also see the white roots growing from the nodes.

I've noticed that the otos and SAEs don't seem interested in eating the zucchini anymore, probably because there's enough algae now for them to eat :-). I've even seen one of the angel fish nibbling at the beard algae.
