I have lots of well established anubias in my tanks and have not had much luck growing any other plants. I have a large tall very real looking silk plant in my 35 gallon tall hex tank to add a bit of variety.
I very occasionally add seachem trace elements and flourish comprehensive when I remember. I have relatively low light tanks using just t8 fluorescent bulbs which are on about 9 hours a day. There are very few windows and the general light in the room is fairly dim as the tanks are in a finished basement. Room lights are set to a low setting as it's mainly a room for watching tv and relaxing.
My tanks are not overly stocked and the fish appear healthy and active. I have mainly black skirt tetras in one tank and tiger barbs in the other one. I do a 50% wc every 10 to 12 days and nitrates stay around 10 pppm. I have both an aquaclear filter and a sponge filter in each of my tanks and have an airstone as well in the tanks. Algae is present but is not excessive.
