I am having a nightmare keeping my plants in good health. Firstly they started dying off, I bought some King British aquatic plant food which stopped the rot and some have started growing. Now they are starting to show small holes in the leaves again, which I want to sort out.
I also bought some new plants, and since I added them, algae has started growing again.
I've just got delivered flourish and flourish excel. So I will fully dose the excel today and start on the flourish when the king british runs out.
What else do I need to help the plants grow? I'll consider anything other than CO2 injection (unless no other option)
240 litre tank
2 x 54W lamps (one is blacked out at the moment, can I turn this back on with excel in the tank?)
plants are:
amazon swords
vallis
lillies
aponogeton
anubias
As a side note, the vallis was growing like crazy until about 2 weeks ago when it ALL went a translucent green and then fell to pieces, now there's just a few upstarts coming back
