So my tank has grown a lot in the last 5 or 6 months and I am wondering if with my current plant stocks and growth if I am still adding enough ferts??
-Tanks is 700 litres
-Low tech with basic led lighting for 8.5 hours a day, no C02
-fine gravel substrate with root tabs
-2 external filters
-fairly high fish load
-50% water changes weekly
All plants are fairly easy (see pic) and I am currently adding 30ml of TNC complete 3x per week. (90ml weekly)
Most plants seem to be doing OK however I dont get extreme growth (expected) and some are showing signs that they could do better.
I keep a fair few crypts and they have always done quite well but some now seem to be melting back a little, getting holes or yellowing even though they have been in there for around 5 months.
Could thus bee to do with needing more ferts or root tabs??
I've added some pics below including one of the whole tank
