All of my plants were doing really well. Then their light burnt out. They originally had a full spectrum daylight fluorescent. I decided to switch to a flora glow. My anubias started to wilt. My newer water wisteria was growing pretty well though. Then I inherited a 50 gallon which had LEDS. I made though he mistake of moving my anubias into that tank. Now it's doing horrible. Lol. The water wisteria in the original 36 gallon tank is starting to be wilty as well.
When I got the 50 the water parameters were really poor. The nitrates were 150+ so far I've done a few water changes but this tank has a goldfish in it as well so it's making it hard to get back to good.
Anyway! I could really use some advice on lighting. I'm going to have to buy new hoods for the 50 if I go back to fluorescent. ? I would like to not spend a fortune. But I'll buy what I need. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here's a me before and after pics.

The first pic is a before pic although it was nutrient deficient (I wasn't fertilizing) it was still growing pretty well.
Second pic is it with the fluoraglow
First and second pics are with 0 Nitrite and 0 ammonia 20-40 nitrate
Third pic is with LED and very high nitrate but 0 ammonia and nitrite

I reaaaaaally don't want him to die so I have to change everything quick!thanks so much in advance guys!!
