Hey everyone. I need some advice for my plants please. I'm posting a couple of videos, shot yesterday. All the plants are new. Especially the alternatheras. Introduced about 10 days ago. I'm worried about them especially as this is the third time I'm trying to grow them and it seems this will be a failure again.
My tank specs are.
Size
120x50x60(height)
Lighting
2x54w 840 t5
2x54w 860 t5
9hours
Ferts
EI DRY dosing for 300liters (aquarium is 360 but without rocks etc. Its actually about 300 considering all that)
K2so4
Kno3
Celated trace from co2 art that includes
Fe, Mn, Zn, B, Cu and Mo.
Fleet enema for phosphate
Seachem iron
Co2
Pressurised using a glass diffuser (gave a try today to an aqua medic 1000 online diffuser with its own 1000ltr/hour pump I hope it works better)
I know the aquarium is a bit high that's why I set light at 9 hours to compensate for that.
Most of the plants show growth
Those are
Eleocharis accicularis
Eleocharis parvula
All the green at the back
The stavrogrne repens that is in a miserable tangled condition came that way from the shop I ordered it from. I'm hoping it will grow normally so I can replant stems.
I'm not concerned about the green plants so much as they had a shock from the introduction in my aquarium but after a week in they show new growth. Leaf and root wise.
The alternatheras where super fine at the beginning but when I moved them once to relocate them on better spots with more light their leaves fell off instantly and they seem in a poor condition generally.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
