So if you don't know already I have a 40 gallon tank with very fine sand substrate. It has a AquaticLife T5HO fixture total of 78 watts. I'm using the stocked bulbs. One is 6K bulb and the other is a pink bulb 420/460.
My tank height is around 18" and my substrate is about 3".
Last night my plants arrived in the mail looking very healthy and green.
-2x Cryptocoryne, Wendtii, Bronze
-2x Cryptocoryne, Wendtii, Green
-1x Glossostigma
-2x Green Temple Narrow Leaf
-2x Java Fern, Lace (inserted in cracks of driftwood)
-2x Ludwigia Needle Leaf
-2x Ludwigia, Broad Leaf
-1x Sword, Red Rubin
After planting I dosed it with Seachem Flourish Comprehensive and API C02 as instructed on the label. I'm leaving my lights on 10 hours a day.
Now I checked on my plants and a few of them look brittle and decaying. My Glosso look like it will die the next day. I see Ludwigia leaves floating around and my Wenditii leaf is slumped on the sand instead of growing upwards.
Am I missing anything in terms of nutrients? I have 5 Zebra Danios and 5 Kuhli Loaches in the tank.
