New Plant Turning Brown

[zxsixr]

I recently redesigned my whole tank from the gravel up, i added the plant in the pic (ID pls?) and alll the new water purifiers etc all my water specs are good maybe slightly high on alkiline but thats it, and about a week later the leaves are going brown ...?
Can anyone tell me why and how i can fix it it?
Very much appreciated

The plant on the driftwood is called an anubias. It doesn't appear to have brown leaves in the pic. Was that from when you first got it? It is one of the easier low light plants in the hobby. All you have to do is make sure that the rhizome isn't buried, because the lack of circulation will cause the plant to die. It doesn't appear that you have done that from the photo, so I don't know what the cause could be.

This is the plant you have, though it isn't the best picture. http/www.aquahobby.com/garden/e_anubias.php

Plants need 17 essential nutrients to grow, if any one of these are lacking then your plants will show signs of difficencies such as your plant telling you now.

Overcome this by dosing these essential elements directly into the water column.
