I have been having a problem with my 90 gallon planted tank. It is going to be used for discus (not for a while). The problem is the plants are slowly dying off. Got T-5 lighting H.O. 2-10000K that are on 12 hours a day and a very large peace of drift wood. The substrate is some natural gravel that is very small (60+lb) and 15lb of floramax. I pulled out a clump of mondo grass and the roots are rotting. What is going on. Last thing I have well water the Ph is 7.8ish out of the tap and very hard with lime and calcium. The test kit for hardness said 200+.

maybe not mondo grass than the person I got it from is very knowledgeable I most likely have the wrong name
algae on 3 sides of the aquarium. I liked the look. Was hoping to get a 3 walls of lush green algae surrounding plants. I am going to get a pleco (royal or hopeful a gold nugget). My other thought is to get more floramax.
For the picture sorry none. I am currently taking the tank apart, cleaning the drift wood that has black algae and re-aquascaping. The jungle val is turning black in some spots and getting some holes.
The bio load is very low. 2 breeding jewels 2 or 3 peacock eels (had sum jumpers), 4 inch black ghost knife and a flagtail. That was a short time ago. The jewels breed and the only thing left are jewels and eels.

Sebastian Vettel youngest Formula one world champion 2x in a row, season just started and im obsessed with a car that pulls 7 g force under braking and does 0mph to 200mph back to 0mph in 9 seconds. Amazing.
