Hey all,
I have my vivarium planted and thought all was well. I figured it would establish itself nicely for two months or so before i put my tincs in. Well, I think i was wrong. For some reason my plants don't seem to be doing too well. My brom's leaves are curling and starting to lose their color in the tips, one of my potho's leaves is turning yellow and some of the leaves on some ivy i bought are going brown. I thought that this was due to too little water, so i made sure that the brom's axil always had some in it and the reservoir under the false bottom definately gains in water level, so i know it drains well. I'm using the eco-earth as a substrate (coco fiber) with sphagnum moss on top of that and will be topping that off with pillow moss. The lighting is a flourescent daylight tube made by eclipse (they make aquarium products) which i think i am going to replace.
Any thoughts? Or am i jumping the gun here?
Thanks.
