Plants Need Help Please!

[riggs111]

first of all a bit about my setup......
i own a fishbox 64L tank, community setup and all running lovely...
i recently bought a few plants from java plants and fair play they come in fantastic condition looked lovely no complaint what so ever so i got around to putting lead on themand away i went aquascaping.
all went well and looks lovely...should really say what plants i got shouldnt it....well i got moss balls, amazon swords, pygmy chain swords, dwarf hairgrass, valis torta, crypt wendtii and some bamboo sticks with moss on...planted them all in my substrate which is play sand and crushed up some flora tabs around the plants.
my lighting is 2x15w daylight bulbs. i started reading up about the plants and taaking care of them and was reccomended to use this
i dose 1ml per day of the easy carbo and then 5ml once a week of profito

i started this because i was recommended but mainly because it looked like my plants were dying they have started the develop greeny yellow patches on the leaves and some of the valis have lost there green colour....so my question to u all....what am i doing wrong?? never have any luck
hope you can help me!

Sounds like you might need to dose more of the macro nutrients, I'm sure one of the other members will know for sure.

The vallis might melt if you're using easycarbo, it often doesn't like it!

edit: just saw your link. Profito is just micronutrients like iron, potassium and what not whereas It sounds to me although you may be lacking in phosphate and nitrate that the rest of the easylife family contains - I think they're called fosfo and nitro. In smaller tanks, fish waste can sometimes can be sufficient. I'm not entirely sure of the problem though so one of the other members should clear it up!
