I thought your light is not proper for the growth of plants. What type of lights are you using? Are you also suing blue LEDs in this scape? Some blue light is appearing in this scape.

How old is the setup? Firstly you need more plants in there. Also, pls specify the type of lighting, as Rajiv ji asked earlier. Easy to grow plants turning brown is a concern. Lastly I would suggest weekly 50% water change.
Good luck,

In addition, I would like to say that some hygrophilia species shed old leaves and grow taller. Maintain them by trimming well.

Thank you.
I am using two T5 24 watts and 8*3 watt diy led, Rajiv sir you are right, since one of the led's failed I installed one blue one watt led but that will be changed soon.
Tenellus planted only one month back other plants are planted earlier. Should I add one more T5.

Even the low light demanding chritmas moss is not doing that great.The Led are 6000k

You have to increase T5 light.

Can you show a close up pic of some of the plants?

Also, what kind of water quality? How much Ca and Mg? And iron?

[parthapratim22]

Increase light. Plant load.
