Hello I'm looking for some help on my 75g low tech tank. I moved from a 29g to this tank and my plants don't seem to be doing as well. My anacharis would grow nice and thick in my 29g but now they are stringy and don't grow nearly as quick. My amazon sword was decent size but since i moved it to the 75g the leaves all started turning yellow, so i clipped them off and the new leaves started to grow to about only a few inches before it stopped growing. My vals would proprogate quite a bit and crew pretty tall but now they haven't pumped out runners since the move. I moved these plants about 4 months ago and just trying to figure out what i could do to get these plants doing better.
I have 0 nitrates, ammonia and nitrate. I have 2 coralife T5NO 28w x4 that I run one of them for 8 hours and the other one for 4 hours in the middle of the first one. I also dose KNO3, flourish and kh2po4 once a week. Also had an outbreak of BBA which seems to be slowing down. I believe it was caused by a water change i did because for some reason fish seem to be dieing while showing no signs of anything. Thankfully the water change seem to stop whatever was happening to the fish.
Fish in tank:
5 neon tetra
4 Harlequin Rasboras
1 Bolivian Ram
1 Blood parrot
2 Corys
1 spotted raphael catfish
6 Otos
Plants:
Vals
Crypts
Sunset hygro
anacharis
Amazon Sword
Any ideas? thanks.
