Nitrate was around 30 to 40ppm plus nitrite was high too so used seachem prime to get both down to almost nothing. Maybe I've gone too far and it's killing the plants? I have aquarium scissors now which will make trimming a lot easier as I quickly did it with ordinary scissors before so it was...

Using TNC complete. Plants are various stems and a few lower broad leaf plants bought in pots. Couldn't tell you exact species.
