JBL Ferropol 24 daily 6 Drop & Seachem Flourish & JBL NPK once aweek alternately...

some time i use Excel as there are little algae grow in stone...
 
How long has tank been setup? When were plants planted? And how are they planted?
 
My take is 2 years old in total, but 5 month back I changed the scape... after this only plant growth problem and dying problem.

Monte carlo sp Was planted 2 month back... I got it has a carpet, separated and planted it keeping inch distance..
 
It is possible that one of the trace elements is off. Rotala does need good amounts of iron and phosphate. I don't know the other plants that well
