Hello again Straw...
New tanks, those cycled and running less than a year, have water chemistry problems. Especially the tanks 30 gallons and smaller. Not quite enough water to dilute errors in tank management. Anyway, the problems are caused by the water, fish and plants trying to get used to one another in a new environment. This is normal.
The best thing you can do, is do a good job of managing the tank. Large, frequent water changes, good filter cleaning and routine replacement of the media, and taking good care of the plants. This includes proper lighting, again clean water and the right nutrients.
Keep pluggin' away.
