Help needed

I water change every Sunday, At least half the tank. I have just started using TMC Complete could it be that I have over used this? I added some last Thursday when I first got it and again on Sunday after my water change.

Thanks for the tips, Should I buy any root tabs to place in the sand? And any liquids I could purchase to add to the water once a week to help the plants?
