Where To Start?

[AlexW]

Looking for advice on how to go about planting my tank , I wanted it to look totally natural, its 95litres , got some bog wood/twigs in it , I planted it but the plants have gone yellow ?? And the smaller leaved plants have been eaten by my fish, and the plants I dotted around the bottom of the tank got ripped up/eaten. So basically my first attempt was a disaster lol. So I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on plants/lighting/ferts?/ at the moment I just have a regular light in it that came with the tank, I'll post a pic over the weekend

Anyone?

Ok, what lighting do you have T5? T8? And wattage?
What filter and plants do you have?
What is your stock?

 

[AlexW]

Aquanel lighting F24t5/D , is all it says on the light .and on the filter it says Fan/2+ 230volt ,50hz 5.2wats 450l/h max 35oc . I have a pictus cat, Y loach, zebra loach, featherfin cat , and another 2 small cats . I had 4 cherry barbs , it was them that ate the plans but I have given them away now . I'm unsure of the name of the plants. But as it all seems to be going yellow/brown I'm going to replant it all together

you main problem is the fish to be honest. if most of your plants have been eaten.
the yellowing could be melt, depends on the plant (changing from non aquatic leaves to aquatic)

 

[AlexW]

Its only the small leaved plants that got eaten , the larger leaved ones are fine just yellow and just don't look healthy, and I have a grassy sort of one dotted all over my tank which is going brown/light green , the only thing that seems ok is moss

Do you see any new Growth, plants shed their old leaves and stuff. Its normal. Lightning seems fine.
