Hi Ryan
There is probably a few issues here!
Plec damage to the leaves...instigated probably during the night!
Lights on too long!
Macro NPK not added as a fertilizer!

Valliisneria torta...would be another.

Leave some of the Hygrophilia Polysperma....on the surface as a floating plant and a tank health indicator.
More light means extra Carbon needed....which could mean dosing 6ml to...
Hi Graham
Welcome to the ukaps.
If you are not using Co2...Crypts/Hygrophilia Polysperma/ Ludwigia/Vallis Corkscrew /Bacopa/Nymphea/Java moss...should do okay.

All java ferns need to be tied to rock/wood or left free floating.
If you plant the rhizome in the substrate it will eventually rot away and perish.
You must...
