Hello all. Tom here. New to this. I have had my tank cycled for two years. Never owned a fish tank before this. Jumped into a planted tank from the start and ran with a Fluval 3.0. I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube and reading a bunch of blogs. Also tried a bunch of FB forums. Got fish down okay for now, though always learning. Plants.. have been a challenge. I keep thinking I’m doing okay, then I falter. Long story short, I went through a period of malaise with the whole thing. Jumpstarting things now, did a huge overhaul of the tank. Have some plants that haven’t totally died on me and some new plants I just put in. I’m using root tabs, flourish Excel, and Easy Green. I have a 20g tall 16” high. Below are my light parameters based on a lot of what I have been reading. I’m interested in any thoughts. Below is also a list of plants. Thanks in advance!! So glad I found this forum.
1. Sword plant
2. Vallisneria
3. Water Sprite
