Hi All,
I really need some advice on how to successfully grow monto carlo and drawf baby tear in my tank. I have planted these two plants into my tank for three weeks, and nothing really seems to be spreading or even growing. I do have CO2 injection into the tank, and add plant nutritions every other week. All other plants seems to be doing just fine (I have to trim them and plant the newer branch). When I was doing water change today, I pull on of the little mass I planted, the root of it seems to turn brown instead of whiteish healthy root.
I am worrying about not having enough lighting due to the height of the tank (48L*12W*20H). I have two Finnex planted+ 24/7 on the 24/7 mode (only one operating right now). I turned on both of them for about a week, and there seems to be some brown and green hair algae growing on the glass, on the gravel and on some leaves. I kept the temperature between 75-78.
I have attached a photo of my tank. Can anyone give me some advice on how to grow those two plants?
