Common Diseases
Nutrient Deficiency (Iron/Micronutrients)
Yellowing or pale leaves, loss of golden coloration, stunted growth, interveinal chlorosis
Increase micronutrient fertilizer dosing; check and adjust lighting intensity; verify CO2 levels are adequate (30-40 ppm)
Algae Overgrowth (Black Beard/Brush Algae)
Dark algae coating on stems and leaves, reduced photosynthesis, plant decline
Improve water circulation, reduce photoperiod to 8 hours, increase CO2 injection, add algae-eating shrimp, perform manual removal
Melting/Tissue Decay
Sudden leaf loss, mushy stems, discoloration, plant deterioration
Ensure stable water parameters (pH 6.0-7.0, GH 4-8), maintain consistent temperature, increase water changes, verify adequate CO2 and lighting
Slow Growth/Poor Coloration
Weak stems, pale golden color, minimal new leaf development, stunted appearance
Increase light intensity to 60+ PAR, boost CO2 to 30-40 ppm, dose macronutrients (NPK) and all-in-one fertilizers consistently
