hello again. now i got my camera up and working again i ttok a bunch of pics of my plants so u can see them now instead of going by what i was saying. they dont look good if u ask me heres my setup:
36 g bow front (20 watt flourglo light t-8)


i use 2 co2 systems the hagen co2 system with sugar and yeast the yeast is called fleishmann's active dry yeast

i use seachem flourish liquid i just started recently directions say u only use 5ml for every 60 gallons i find that hard to believe its enough but i use it 2 times a week and my tanks only 36 g and seems i would only add a tiny drop in like 1 ml

and i added 3 20 pound bags of the blackrock version ofecho complete i was tould the black rock version was the best. this has been in for just under 2 weeks

my plants dont seem healthy at all still with all this stuff i also have another question what kinf of anubias is this? there in pics as well.

now for the pics:
i used to have alot more lacey java fern this is whats left in that little section out of i believe i had 17 plants of them and they didnt get any bigger this is the size they were the day i baught them pobably back in january maybe longer

sorry for some blurry pics i quess u cant get perfect clear of water in fish tanks hopefully with these i can get some help and fix what every this problem is or what ever im doing wrong or not doing that im supposed to do
o yea if mods slip in here if these pics are to big im sorry i dont know hot to do all that fany resizing and all that stuff every time i tryed it the pics got smaller and more blurry
 
Im not an expert by any means and im sure someone will correct me if im wrong, but i would attribute that to very low light. you have less than 1 WPG (watt per gallon). I have been told anywhere from 1 to 2 is a good range of WPG. like i said htough i could be wrong.
 
okay it would be nice if some peopel could give me some help. but htanks for that ill check into the light
 
You have low light plants in there, being Java fern and Anubias nana. Light is not the issue. I keep Anubias nana in a tank with no light in the kitchen in a dark corner and it grows fine with 1 new leaf a week and the rest a dark green, but healthy looking leaf. Someone with more knowhow will be able to assist you more.

Posting the following will help you get better responses to;

tank size
lighting period + wattage
any CO2
any ferts
water change routine
 
Constructive criticism, black background would be beneficial to the aesthetics of the tank. :)
 
okay i thought i posted all that in case i didnt

co2
36 g bow front
seachem floruish 2 times a week istructions say only use 5ml for every 60 gallons so i follow instructions

lights a 20watt light leave it on about 8-12 hours a day i just baught a new plant some type of red thing forget th ename but it said its low-high lght plant, also got a marrimo moss boll they looked pretty cool. if i dont get this situation fixed im probably going to sell all the anubias theres about $130 worth in there they were $9 a piecei have 15 in there so im not trying to loose all that money
