[Help with planted tank . All the details I can trynto.explain lol]

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
