If the leaves are growing in yellow then that could be an Iron issue. If the leaves turn yellow then it could be nitrogen. So a dose of flourish couldn't hurt.

First you defitinitly need to geet atest kit and then, what I did when I was having problems, do a 50% H20 change every other day and gravel vac. After a week or two the nitrAtes should be safe. Good luck and continue doing the water changes.

Use a little hot sauce from the kitchen. Pour it on the glass and lit sit for about five min and the rub with a soft cloth to remove the build up and the wash with hot water repeat if necicary. HTH.
