hey all. I have 2 tanks that i have live plants in, and i had a few questions about them, and wanted to know how they look, as well as get some advice from experts. In my first 15gal tank, i have 1 20W light (original with tank)- and it has a few different types of plants. I have a set up a DIY co2 system, with ladder diffuser and it has been running for about a week. I dose flourish excel and comprehensive once a week as well. I noticed my water sprite isn't growing like a weed, which i have seen in the past. I have one planted, and the other floating, and i see the lack of growth in both plants (which you can see in attached pictures). I also have 1 anubias hastifolia, however it has started to brown near the tips, which you can also see. What does this mean and what i can i do to reverse it? All theses plants have been only planted in the tank for about a month. Lastly, how does the overall tank look?
The second tank is a 33 gal tank, with 1 39W T5 light. It has diy co2 as well, however the diffusion method is a cheap underwater filter which chops the bubbles very very small. I also dose with excel and comprehensive once a week as well. I have 2 crypts in the back, and i notice their leaves are curling a little bit, they also have a bit of algae on them, but I'm hoping the co2 will slowly take care of that. You can see i have a banana plant in front, and it seems to be doing well, as it started with only 2 leaves, and now has 6 or 7. on the left i added some taller long stemmed plant, although I'm not really sure what it is. How does the tank look? and what can i do to improve the health and look of my plants.
Thanks if you read this far and please comment as it really helps since i don't know a ton about plants and keeping the healthy. Thanks!
