Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post here.
I have a 2 month old 16G/60Litre semi planted tank and this is my first tank, the plants in the tank are not doing well and I need some advice on how I can get my plants to be healthy.
I've been using a "macro nutrient" solution made by my local fish store and didn't have much success with this, initially I though that this might be due to this being a new tank. After the initial 3 or 4 weeks also, the leaves were turning brown slowly. Seachem is one of the few Internationally recognized products I have available in India and I have ordered Seachem Comprehensive to begin with.
Following are some pictures of my tank and the details of the fish and plants.
Aquarium test results:
Ph - 7.4, Amonia - 0 ppm, Nitrites - 0 ppm, Nitrates - 0 ppm
I've been doing the test twice a week using the API Master test kit and getting the same results with a 25% weekly water change.
I'm using tap water with a dechlorinator made by the local store.
Aquarium details:
Gravel bottom and lighting is on for around 10 hours a day
Fish and snails:
4 Harlequin Rasboras
4 Neon Rainbow Tetras
4 Black Phantom Tetras
4 Glow Tetras
4 Purple Chelas
2 Rummy Nose Tetras
2 Panda Cory
1 Sterbai Cory
1 Guppy
1 Ottocinclus
1 Zebra Nerite snail
Plants:
Dwarf sag
Giant sag
Amazon swords
Wisteria
And a couple of other plants I cannot identify
I know this is not a small post, but eagerly waiting for some responses on this.
Thank you,
Karthik
