Monte Carlo, help?

Hello,

I set up a new tank a few weeks ago with a micranthemum carpet, but it's not doing very well at all. There seems to be new growth with healthy looking roots, but the majority of the leaves are turning brown?

I'm injecting co2 at 2.5bps, medium/high LED's at 6500K and adding 3 squirts of Tropica premium liquid fertiliser per water change (every 7 days)

3 squirts a week is app. 3,6 ml.
I'd say you are starving your plants to death...............
- you should change from Tropica premium to Tropica specialised, since your plants will need the N and P, that is missing in the premium.

Oh, right... Makes sense after checking the dosing recommendations. Just added 5 extra pumps.

Just ordered a 300ml bottle of Tropica specialized but it won't be here by the next water change. I have a bottle of profito, would that be a better option over the Tropica premium?

No.
Its Easylife's equivalent to Tropical premium.
You need something with N & P

Okey dokey, I'll be waiting on the specialized delivery.

Thank you.
