Hi All

What nutrients would be missing if my Amazons are very brittle looking at the ends, they seem to be slightly yellow and very thin looking do not grow very well either, not compared to the other plants anyway.

Also away from the Amazons I have several plants that initially are green when planted but any new or even the existing leaves go a redish brown colour, do not mind to much as they actually look nicer but what could be lacking to cause this.

Nitrates 10-20
Phosphate 0.5 I keep trying to raise it.
PH 7.2-7.6
Hard water

Lighting works out about 2WPG on large tank.

I do fertilise but not every day, have all the liquids such as Flourish, phosphate, potassium and others. Also have jbl balls as the root tabs, not sure they are doing anything though.

Any Help, advise

Thanks
