Aquarium Advice FINatic
So a few weeks ago I took the plunge into going planted. Since then it's been non stop problems, most (or probably all) of which are due to my lack inexperience.
As it stands currently I don't have a single plant in my tank that doesn't have problems! My vals and micro swords melted (excel), my hygros leaves got eaten away with brown holes (lack of co2 I think), my star grass looks sad and spindly (probably light), my 2 java ferns went all black because I planted the rhizome (moved to wood now), my one anubia is going brown on the leaves, the other on the roots, my java moss has got grey fuzz on it and I am also seeing BBA or staghorn!!
Aaarrggh!!!!
I am not asking for help on these issues - just feeling the need to vent to people who may understand my frustration!
Please tell me this is normal for a rookie, that I'll figure it all out and it will start to go better????
