plants melting

[silentspidey]

looks like one of my plants is havin a problem. Its leaves are melting. well looks like it. They just seem to be withering away. The plant it self is green as ever. But some of the leaves just have wholes or missing pieces. What can i do to prevent this?

What species plant is it? What are the conditions in your tank? Lighting wpg, water temp, etc.

The tank it self seems very stable. Fish are fine.
all other plants look fine.
The species idk. Im gonna take a pic and post it asap. 74 F on the temp.
Dosing Flourish and Excel.
2 DIY CO2 bottles.

Yup, it really depends on what species. Is it a new plant to the tank?

[Roujin]

How often are you dosing? If youre doing DIY CO2 you might want to cut back on the Excel.

is it a new plant that you just put in? did you recently chagne anything (light, temp, water chem)?

[silentspidey]

hydrophila is what it is.
its not new its been in a while. i did just rescaped everything.
so maybe that. im dosing every other day. but smaller doses.
i did just put a new canister filter on the tank as well. can there be too much
co2? what makes the edges look burned?

Could you describe the problem in a little more detail? Or, better yet, provide us with some pictures? There could be any number of causes, and without knowing the real problem, we can't help with finding a solution. :)

My leaves on this one plant are have patches. clear on some parts.
on my Ozelot swords i have some burned edges.

so i just pruned those messed up leaves.
the rest of the tank is flourishing with lil algae

[kwc1974]

are the patches and edges yellowing any? Sorry to keep beating this drum, but pics could help a lot. Even a bad camera phone pic.

[silentspidey]

finally got home to take a pic sorry for the delay.
those are the burns im getting. and also a few spots on some.

Looks like a case of chlorosis

For the sword,
1. Increase the iron
2. Looks like emergent leaves also dying off.
