Help needed - In my 70 litre tank set up in February I had, up until now, been quite successful with my plants. I very quickly learned that any plant with very fine leaves didnt last a week, but I was having a lot of success with broader leafed plants and three different varieties that grew so much they made a canopy over the top of the tank (sorry dont know species but quite small leaves giving out root like strands from the stem.
For a quite a few weeks now the plants have been dying - I now have lost all the plants that reached the top of the tank, just shedding leaves. Some new ones I bought last week are just shedding leaves and there will be nothing left in a few days. A quite densly planted tank now looks quite bear.
I increased the light from 6 hours a day to 8 hours to no avail.
There does seem to be a slight 'cotton wool' matter around some.
I do have a guppy and 2 shrimps but I dont think that the degree the plants are going is down to them.
The tank has a Sunglo 46cm 15W T8 lamp.
Any help would be much appreciated
