Ok, did Ph test and Ammonia Test, all came back perfect results.
I had the all too common oil slick happening too from the decomposing pads, so bucketed the top of the water off and did a 25% change of the water, treating it again after topping up.
Tested again and perfect results.
The lilies look fine at the roots, there are new pads forming at the base, but they are only small at the moment, which makes me worry a bit as my older lilies are sprouting pads but only small too and not surfacing and i would hate this new one to go the same way.
Hopefully with more regular feeding of the lilies they will grow bigger and stronger.
When i removed the dead pads today the stems were still very thick and strong.
I also notice the remaining pads that are slowing going brown are not floating on the edges, as in the middle of the pad is floating on top of the water but the outer edge of the pad is under water. the middle part out of the water is green, the edges are brown.
Still stumped as to whats going on...
