Hi there,
I'm having some problems that I hope some of you may be able to advise me on.
I am having problems getting any plants to grow and survive in the tank. They tend to be OK initially once put in the tank, but a few weeks later, they begin to rot at the base, and then snap off. Other plants have leaves that just detiorate into holes, or curl up. Another typical sympton I see is stem plants growing upwards, losing all the leaves at the bottom, and then ultimately the top leaves just curl off and die, or the stem snaps.
It's a 290 litre tank, lit with 4 T5 tubes (with reflectors) for 12 hours per day, external Eheim canister filter, 27 degrees water temp, and around 10 mid-size fish. I regularly add in Tetra Plantamin liquid fertilser, and do regular water changes every 2 weeks.
I have included a photo to show the kind of problems I am seeing.
Thanks for any tips or advice.
