So here's an update... the new anacharis have been in for about 2 weeks and appear to be thriving... completely unsure what actually killed/melted the first batch. Nothing has changed really, just added new fertz yesterday and have kept the light consistent. Gh is still through the roof while kH is 0-1°

Yes! I'm on it!

I love your ideas, and what you're saying makes complete sense. I just ran an ammonia test and these are the results: im gonna go the nitrogen route and just see what happens... I havent done a water change since the nee anachrias has been floating and so far so good..

Not to sound like an "ass' but it does contain nitrogen just maybe not enough, I didn't realize it needed extra.. I thought this was supposed to be an easy plant? 😂 Any suggestions on raising the Nitrate ppm slowly? I was concerned prime would lower it so I only add it to water I'm putting in, not the actual tank.

When I dose nitrogen, is there any other nutrient I should also dose for? I hear dosing just one thing like that is extremely difficult I added more anacharis last night but ill leave the old in for now hopefully they do...this happened last time in my last tank

Hello! I'll keep this short and sweet especially as a first post 😃 3~4 weekish old tank Aqueon 14 rimless Aqueon Planted LED (13 Watt 800 Lumes) Light now for 8 hours Fluval Stratum Ph steady at 6.6. Ammonia <0.25ppm Nitrate 0 Nitrate stready @ 5ppm gH ~ 120ppm kH ~ 30ppm 25~30% water change weekly Seachem Flourish No algae issue yet. 1 betta, 2 Annbius nana, Java ferns and Anacharis.. Within a week, my Anacharis has gone from perky and floating to weak and falling apart... I had this issue in the past but I believe that a combination of over dosing iron, light and other factors caused it to die in my last tank... I have the Aqueon LED light which says its 13 watts at 800 lumes or 63 PAR at peak. 1.) I'm thinking to first start with setting the light at 8 hours and going from there. My Annbius Nana is also now showing a very very light yellowing in certain areas, and a couple Java ferns have dark green tips.. 2.) My other thought could be a Nitrogen(?) Deficiency but im also concerned that the kH drops off and could be causing an issue, as I've read that Anacharis do not like low kH levels. I will be picking up a kit for that, along with possibly Seachem Equilibrium. My tap water comes out a little high, so I'm guessing the Stratum is acting as a buffer as it always did.. which I wish I knew beforehand lol. I did just make an order here with Aquarium coop to hopefully get things set.
