HI,
I have some plants that are turning brown in the middle. leaves are curling up and dying off, yet the top and bottom of the plants are green and look healthy. Any ideas what would cause this? Too much fertilizer maybe?
thanks for anyone's help. i appreciate it.

Substrate is sand with a fertizer bedding found under the sand. I dont know the name of it, it is particular to the store where i purchase all my stuff, it basically looks like a giant charcoal insert for an aquaclear style filter.
The tank has been running about 6 weeks.
It has about 45 fish in it..mostly tetras, 1 shrimp, 6 guppies, and 3 corydoras.
one light: life gro (if i remember correctly)
The plants in question : Wisteria, Anacharis and one other (looks like carrot leaves) that are the ones turning brown and seemingly dying off but again only in the middle of the plant.
I have anubias that are doing really well, the grass is not doing that great, not dying but not really growing or spreading after 4 weeks.
i also have a problem with algae...the long hair like type...its slowly taking over everything. Id like to get rid of it if possible.
thanks again!!
