Its a 48" double bulb fixture with t5 bulbs. I've got two fluval planted tank 18000 k bulbs in it. I thought about the brown algae but its only on the plants that it's happening. The rest of the tank and glass hardly ever gets algae build up

Plant has been going about 3 months. Think I messed up my cycle in month one so trying to catch up now . Thanks for the info

Added the anubias ( glued to wood ) , vallisneria ( planted) , radican sword and Amazon sword ( planted ) . Root tabs , ferts. Water parameters are good. Every time I add new plants the roots get this gunky buildup along with the leaves get the same thing and darker spots. Any ideas ?

Changed both bulbs to daylight white 18,000k fluval. Checked again and there's still more than .25 ppm ammonia. Going to do another small water change tonight

I left the hob on for almost two weeks , and 5hen used the filters as part of the new media for the canister. Still not enough to hold the cycle though I'm guessing. Time to test and wait. Great info man thanks again

Thanks again. And I was originally using a hob but switched to a magnaflow 360 and it's been going about a month and a half

Not short or rude at all. I'll take all the blunt advice I can get lol. Tank has been going for 3 months now so assuming it is cycled. Have watched videos about cycled tanks and seems like what I've had going should be ok, if there's a for sure way to be able to tell I'd love to know.. Have done 30 percent water changes probably 6 times since starting the tank and try to allow natural bacteria to stick. Thanks for the info! Going to pop in the other white bulb tomorrow

Sorry no pics at the moment. Small to medium cichlids , green phantom plecco. Cory cats . Algae eater. One snail. All the fish are happy as can be but plants just won't hold

Alright yall. Kind of going off a previous post I made . Trying to narrow down the issues and get help. 55 gallon planted tank and can't get plants to stay healthy / alive Substrates- fluval plant and shrimp stratum, Caribsea cichlid sand Light - 54 watt , 48" bulbs , fluval planted bulb and blue bulb Water parameters as of tonight with master test kit: ammonia- 0.25 -0.35ish ? Nitrite- 0.1 of anything, nitrate - under 10 ppm , maybe like 7? Ph-7.8 Started dosing easy green ( twice a week ) , easy iron as recommended ,and root tabs 3 weeks ago( have added quite a few ). Was using flourish before the easy green products.. Have had Java fern, Amazon sword, anubias , anachris , and added more radican swords and anubias tonight. So .. from my learning knowledge , with water parameters seeming to be good is it just a lighting issue ? Have to have co2?? Anything would help and sorry for the book . Thanks yall So from my learning knowledge water parameters seem ok
