my plants

[bigmatt76]

i have recently started a neew tank and i decided to do live plants. i have a sword plant a moss ball a little shrub and a plant with big leaves. oh i also have a anarchist if thats how u spell it. i currently have a co2 injection and i also use fertilizer. i also have just a standard flourescent light. is there any thing else i could do to my plants to make them healthier because there is tons of alge on them. i have also used alge fix but that didnt seem to work.

Hey matt, I don't mean to sound stand-offish, but that post was very vague. When posting, try to include as much info as you can. Like, how big the aquarium is, how many watts of lighting you have, how long is the lighting on during the day, how much of what kind of ferts are you adding, exactly what type of plants you have. Its very helpful if you can report water parameters - the results from water testing such as pH, KH, GH, iron, phosphates, nitrates, etc....
You need to achieve a balance between light and nutrients (including CO2) for the plants. The more info you can provide, the better we can help you.

If you look at other posts, you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about...I hope.
