How to keep up to par?

[Sidman24]

I'm growing plants such as wisteria, anarchis, and water sprite. I will be receiving some java ferns, Anubis nangi, and amazon swords soon. The substrate is just play sand. I'm using a 6500 K light. Also dosing with API c02 booster once a day. Is this to much? Am I missing anything? I read that seachem flourish excel is good, would that replace the API booster though? Thanks for advice and tips guys!

What size bulbs are you running on your tank? T8? T5ho?

The excel and co2 booster are basically the same thing and no once a day isn't too much of it.

To grow the water wisteria and amazon swords well you will need to get some root tabs. I would go with Dynamite root tabs if you can get / make them.

I believe the bulbs are t12?? I'm not for sure on that. And the wisteria has been doing great actually! I'll look into some root tabs. Are they just stuff I add to the water?

If your anacharis starts to melt it's because it is sensitive to liquid carbons.
