You have a couple issues. Temp. is to cold. 75-80f air temp and 65f in the res. Ppms to high drop down to around 600-800.ph at 5.5 -5.8 What nutes u using?
Funny thing i told my brother that i think its a water temp problem, he said the colder the water the more oxygen it hold just as long it doesn't get below 50 deg.
^^^^^^^^Your problem seems obvious then. One room cold no grow. Other room warm plants grow. 50 is way to cold. I keep 65 in my res and my rootzone stays around 68.
He's right, but water will continue to hold more O2 even if the water is below 50F. The problem with that is that in order for certain chemical and physical reactions to occur in this set-up, the temps really need to be closer to ideal soil temps (about 65F).Funny thing i told my brother that i think its a water temp problem, he said the colder the water the more oxygen it hold just as long it doesn't get below 50 deg.
By the way, if your reservoir is flat-bottomed, I personally prefer waterbed heating pads over aquarium heaters for most efficient and best heating of large volumes of water. I'm frankly not sure why more aquarists don't go this route.
I live in the sticks, I got mine off eBay. $50.Good call Seamaiden, how easy are those to find these days though...I don't think I've even seen a waterbed in about 10 years here?!?!
