Hi guys, so recently my moss started turning brown. Tank details as per below.

160L
T5 x 36w x 4 (giesmann+arcadia) 10 hours per day
3bps co2
Supplement with flourish line (iron+potassium+trace+phosphorous+nitrogen+excel)
8 fish + 6 amano shrimps

I'm thinking it has to do with some kind of nutrient deficiency, what do you guys think?

Mosses are pretty easy to grow for the most part and with having good lighting and CO2 most likely it is a nutrient deficiency. Do you know your nitrate and phosphate levels? I don't know how much of each fert you use but I would suggest upping your dosing to see if it helps. Good levels for nitrate in a planted tank are 10-20ppm and 1-3ppm phosphates. Do you know your ph, kh, and gh levels?
