HI all, this morning around 7:30am. I checked my tank and noticed black stuff on my plants. When I got home 8 hours later it spread to most plants and my water wisteria looks like its turning brown.
Here's what I have-- 55 gallon with a Fluval Plant Spectrum LED light that's been working for about a year. I have Eco-Complete substrate for about a year. I started using Seachem root tabs about 1" away from my plants (1 per plant) and Nilocg Thrive + 2 times a week for the last 2 weeks.
My Ammonia-0, Nitrites-0, Nitrate-5, PH-6.7 (usually around 5 - 5.5 out of tap) I do 50-60% water changes every Saturday, on Sunday I add 5 pumps of Thrive, on Wednesday I add 5 more pumps, and 3 times a week I use Excel.
MY LFS (who I been using for years) sold me Alkaline Buffer and Acid Buffer, I use 1tsp each right after the water change 9Mix it with water before I add it back to tank.
Any one know what I can do? I,am lost. P.S. I tried to wipe it off with my fingers and a toothbrush, no luck. I do not use co@, iron or potassium. Thanks for any ones help on this
