Hey just to fill you in on some info on my tank before I get to my question/problems. My tank is a 190l corner unit 42 UK gal, set up for over 3 years all parameters are fine, I am running the supplied internal filter along with a fluval 405. Lighting is 2x28w t5 high lite 9000k and 2x20w t8 18000k glo tubes ( designed for plant growth apparently, high in blue and red peaks)so thats 96w over 42 gal, livestock consists of guppies Platys tetra and corys plus a few snails. I am also running diy co2.The 2x20w tubes have been in for around 2-3 weeks after being installed under the hood (diy), co2 around 1-2 months ( replaced bottles obviously) drop checker reads sufficient.
Right, now the background is out of the way my question is, i recently removed some java fern from the rock it came on from the lfs as I was moving a few bits around and attached it to my driftwood a week or so on and a large number of the leaves have started to brown up and melt/decay, is this due to being moved/pulled from the rock and attached to driftwood or is something else occurring? I have also noticed that one of my anubias has one leaf which started off as a small hole and now the leaf has virtually disappeared, any ideas? Surely my tank hasn't got too much light to keep java and anubias. Has anyone got any ideas it's really frustrating me, just when I thought I was getting to grips with planted tanks they now seem to be throwing problems at me and I don't know what to do. Please help me!!!!!!!!
