Advice

Hi,

I started a small iwagumi tank (55L) about 6 weeks ago now, I only used Eleocharis acicularis as i wanted to have a dence carpet. So far it is doing good, lots of runners but the colour isn't a verry bright green and at the base of the plant its brown/yellow colour. My question is: How do i get the best colour out of this plant ?

I am using Co2 and ferts (ADA Series + Bright K + EasyCarbo)

Anyhelp or advice would be great.

im not familiar with ADA series. i know brighty k is K, potassium, but i have no idea whats in "ada series".
a lack of green in new tissue could be N deficiency.

Lighting: 2x18 Watts T5 AquaQube 9400K
Substrate: ADA Power Sand Special, ADA Amazonia and ADA powder
PH: 6
Temperature: 26c

I am not sure what the GH or KH is but I know the substrate keeps that in check. If you need to to test it i will do that right away and post the results.
