We have 125 gallon tank an some of our plants are good and others are turning brown and getting holes. Also out ludwigia has lost its red color and the leaves have either fallen off or have turned green.
It is a 125 gallon top fin which is about 24 inches deep.
We have 2 36 inch aqueon T8 lights with 24 inch Floramax bulbs
The substrate is just 2.5-3 inches of Top Fin gravel.
Filtration: Fluval FX6 ( first basket has the biofoam, second basket has SeaChem Matrix, third basket has SeaChem Purgin) and a Fluval C4 with just foam in it.
Fish: Black knife ghost, zebra danios, Albino rainbow shark, bala sharks, clown loaches, khulali loaches, Boeshamine rainbows, turquoise rainbows, Rafael striped catfish, otos and albino bristlenose plecos
Plants: Anubis nana, Java fern, moneywort, anacharis, ludwigia, swords (Amazon, Red Flame, ocelot and Amazon compacta), Crypts ( red wendetti and undulate red)
We use Mebbids DIY Root tabs, API leaf zone 3-4 times a week and API CO2 booster 3-4 times a week.
Are we not using the right fertilizers? Could it be the lights? As I was reading about lighting I got very confused as to what we need.
I was looking at replacing our light s with either Current USA Satellite Freshwater LED Light for Aquarium or Aqueon LED Aquarium Light Fixture.
Sorry for this being so long and all the miss spelled names and words. Any advice is appreciated on anything that will help this tank out.
