SRC Member ervine Posted April 26, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted April 26, 2004 Hi guys.. Have a maze brain of which a small portion was in the shadows for some time and as such has begun to turn white. The brown ridge portions are white but the middle lime green is still there. I've tilted it such that the white areas are getting light as well now... the thing now is... is it too late for the brain to recover? Thanks..

SRC Member ben Posted May 1, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted May 1, 2004 lighting is the main problem. have the lighting to shine on all areas. If u want to recover it fast, have ur Ca increase to 420ppm, decrease NO3 level, maintain temperature to 27C highest limit. U have to top up a lot of trace elements too.

Moved it up to where the light is better already, will beef up Ca levels, NO3 (tough one) will carry out water change.. temp trying to keep it low without turning my room into an oven... trace elements dosed...

SRC Member ben Posted May 1, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted May 1, 2004 try to maintain NO3 below 10ppm. but 5 ppm will be best. no choice if u have to frequent water change. U can decrease bio load too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
