Hello,
I'm new to planted aquariums and I need some help as my plants aren't growing.
I initially set it up with 2 bulbs and the filter and air pump on the left of the aquarium, The plants towards the left were growing but not towards the right so I thought it might be a water movement problem so I moved the air pump on the right but this has not made a difference.
I then got a fluvial co2 diffuser (the smaller one) which I fill up once a day when the lights are on. This has also not made a difference. I've had it for about a month but it hasn't changed anything.
I then lowered the lighting by removing the reflective panel's thinking that they are getting too much light but this seems to have made the problem worse.
I do a weekly water change and top it up with about 6 squirts of Tropica Plant growth premium fertiliser when I change the water.
The pictures below show a one month difference from when I started with the co2, to today. I lowered the lighting about 2 months after getting the co2.
These are the bulbs I have. I'm not sure if they're the problem.

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
