Before we moved, my 55 gal tank was flourishing. The Anacharis needed to be pruned weekly and the anubias had tones of little leaves. Now that we have moved, I am finding it hard to keep the Anacharis from dieing. Within a few weeks they turn brown and brittle. pH is at 8.2, hardness is like liquid rock (23 drops on AP kit, don't have it with me so I can't give the exact figure), phosphates (last check) were at 1, and Nitrate was 10. I had a Hornwort in the tank that was doing beautifully until the Rosy barbs decided to have it for lunch. Can anyone give me some in-sight on whats going on? The tank has the same lighting as it did from the previous location. Could it just be that the pH and hardness are alot higher and are not promoting growth?
