Hi Guys
My tank seems to have went down hill a little
all was going ok then i decided to add an extra light and start adding tropica plant nutrition (once a week)
Iv now got very bad looking Amazon Swords , now apart from nutrafin grow sticks under the sand and tropica plant nutrition i don't use anything else , i have ruffly 1.5 wpg
Here's what plants i have
Amazon Swords
Wisteria
Brazilian Pennywort
Hygrophila polysperma
iv noticed on the Hygrophila polysperma that the leaves are getting a bit pin holed as well ..
instead of going down the co2 route do you think adding some seachem excel would help things out a bit ??
i did notice that the black algae on the swords got worse since i removed a huge load of wisteria
unfortunately i don't have a gh or kh kit so cant give you those readings
the rest are all zero with nitrates always hovering about 8 (0 in tap water)
here's some pics
what would be your first thing to do to get the tank back looking nice, bear in mind I'm not for adding anymore light or c02 just yet.
cheers
