Review the above sections and see if there are any changes you might need to make. If your Marimo is turning white, this means you’re giving it This requires intervention, or the foreign algae could eventually kill it.
This means that it is being attacked by another type of algae. Take your Marimo out of its tank and give it a gentle rinsing using either dechlorinated and/or purified tap water or bottled aquarium water. )As long as you keep your eyes open, take good care of your marimo (which I wrote a guide on that you can find
Luckily, this isn’t actually a sign of something being wrong with your Marimo. Caring for Marimo and keeping it healthy is probably easier than caring for any other plant or algae that you can put into your aquarium. Once you do that, you should figure out what might have caused the die off in the first place. As long as you catch this and fix it, your Marimo should recover with no problem.
There are a few things you can do to help with this: I would expect that if the bubbles are a byproduct of photosynthesis, causing it to produce more bubbles would mean that it is also now producing more energy. Too much light can kill your Marimo, so you want to fix this as quickly as possible. (And, since Marimo grows so slowly, you’re likely to have plenty of time to address the issue before it’s too late. This could be a sign of that, rather than direct damage by light. While there aren’t a ton of issues you’re ever likely to run into when caring for Marimo, there are a few.Luckily, they’re easy to spot. In fact, adding salt to your aquarium is a recommended solution when your marimo moss ball is morphing to a brown shade. as far as replacing the plant...that will probably be cheaper than fertilizer, but if your tank has a constant 0 nitrate plants will need supplementationJust cut off the brown part and keep the rest of the ball.
It looks like 5ppm sorry not 0 I knew it was really low. The chlorine in the water?the chlorine may have damaged them but it usually causes yellow burns. If you’re just using an aquarium light that’s too bright, try dimming it or (if not dimmable) replace it with a lamp that produces less light.
Is your Marimo turning slimy or growing a layer of something across its surface? I have temporarily taken them out of the tank since they were releasing a lot of debri.You could try keeping them in a separate container with a light source and feeding a fertilizer supplement (API Leaf Zone, Root Tabs, Flourish, etc) until it starts to grow again, then transplant it back to the tank.
This means improving your water quality by reducing the amount you feed your fish and cleaning your substrate to remove waste buried at the bottom of your tank.
0 nitrate may be your problem as plants use it as natural fertilizer. If your Marimo is turning brown, it’s time to clean it. If your Marimo is turning black and/or falling apart, you have a serious problem on your hands.
What does it look like to guys? Otherwise, you may want to look at increasing the amount of light in your aquarium via an upgraded aquarium light. Variations in color may indicate the water is too warm or not clean enough, or the light is not optimal. However, once plants start dying like that the success rate is fairly slim. (That’s just speculation on my part, though. You might also want to reduce how long you leave your aquarium lights on down to 8 hours. Some of these bubbles get trapped inside it, causing it to float. I was wondering why my moss balls turned brown and how can I restore them? If this begins to happen with your moss ball, the best solution is to simply move the ball into an area of the tank with lower light levels. That’s about low-to-mid brackish water. Following the above advice can’t hurt, though.)
