Re: [GSAS-Member] crypt melt!
I've only had crypt melt occur with old tanks where I neglected the water
changes. I've read that high nitrate levels may cause it. I've purchased
'new' crypts via mail order a number of times and never had any melt on me
immediately. The melt occurs virtually over night. The plants look
vigorous and happy one day and I turn on the lights to mostly mush the
next. That's what I've been calling 'crypt melt'.
I tend to use potting soil underlayers/fine gravel topping and never get
around to doing things like fertilize. CO2 injection has never been a
technique I've used. I do try to keep up with water changes though (weak
grin).
