I can't name them. Just the river grass. I think I should introduce liquid fertilizer so I am covering both bases. I need to replace the plants though and start over.Name the plants that you have. You mentioned that you use tab fertilizers. These are good for plants that are root heavy in terms of gaining it's resources. Maybe some of your plants prefer liquid ferts.
Nope. I don't have an undergravel filter. Those outlets coming up from the base of the tank are the outlets from the canister filters underneath the tank.Is that a reverse flow undergravel filter I see? If so, that's your problem. Plants have a heck of a time getting established when their roots are being flooded with rushing water 24/7. With plants sitting there decaying like that you can't help but have algae problems.
Oh darn, I was hoping for an easy fix. Yeah, you should pull out the bad looking plants but I think you could save that sword. It doesn't look too bad yet.Nope. I don't have an undergravel filter.

I am getting the impression I should just pull all the plants. They are in bad shape.
