SO three weeks ago i re did my tank, changed substrate to eco complete ,added some new plants and they melting not only new ones but old ones too.Can somebody tell me whats wrong?
my params :
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 10
ph 8.0
gh/kh are off charts but i read its normal with eco for few weeks
lights 7 h/day 6500 t5 twin 18 watt
before sub change everything was fine PLEASE HELP
 
the plants are probably just getting used to the new conditions and shedding the old foliage to adjust to the conditions, I have had melts moving a plant from one tank to another with the only difference being the substrate so I think it will turn out fine
 
Thanks for replays, but i dont think its it. It dosent look like deficiency they turning brown and die. Becoming mushy. Even java fern turned almost black in 2 days
