I think that is my problem because every time I test my water the nitrates barely register. I have tried adding more fertilizer but then I was told that flourish didn't have my nitrate so that barely helped. It could just be my test but hopefully it will improve once I add this new fertilizer.

Thanks, I will try that. I actually trimmed it about a month ago, but it has grown back quite well so maybe with the new light it will work better again ��

I have recently started adding fertilizer to my planted tank as my nitrate levels were low, and I was noticing deficiencies in my plants. I have been adding fertilizer for about a month now and the algae in my aquarium has significantly increased. This would be fine as I could just manage the...
