Hi all!
I am new to the world of freshwater tanks and need a little help! I have a 54 litre planted tank, i have not yet added any fish. I planted everything at the same time around 1 month ago now and I've noticed the bottom leaves of some of my plants have gone really see through, and/ or brown- I've attached some pics for reference!
I leave the light on around 8-10 hours per day and use both Aqua One plant food and Interpret flora boost. i did find a sneaky snail in the tank the other day which i swiftly removed as i thought he may have been nibbling on the plants.
Basically i think my plants look a little sad and i don't want to put fish in until they are healthy and settled. I'm going to do a 10% water change and clean up some algae thats grown on the sides of the tank but does anyone else have suggestions of what i can do?
Thank you
