Hello everybody,
I have a problem I would like you guys to give me advice on and or help me out with. I have a 46 gallon bowfront with flourite as a substrate. I have 2.0 wpg and dose seachem flourish and excel along with diy co2. I started the tank over 2 months ago and planted with several different kinds of plants. Wisteria, ludwegia, 2 swords, 2 rotala indica and an unknown plant. The first months growth was unbelievable. At one point the swords would pearl every evening. The wisteria is taking over the tank and I have to cut it back weekly. The rotala grew great and now is slowly turning black and rotting. The ludwegia also grew like crazy and then slowly rotted. My question is.. what is going on? Is the wisteria growing so good that it is taking all the ferts out of the water before the other plants can utilize them? Do I need to add other ferts? My water tests are great. I have a low fish load. I have a filstar xp3 for a filter. Any information or advice would be helpful. Thanks.
