When I planted my Pogostemon helferi, they almost completely melted away. A few weeks later shoots started growing and they're doing alright now. My water's only 3 dKH.
It occurs to me that none of my plants that are furthest down in the tank are growing. The Repens is three weeks in and hasn't changed. Something has to be wrong. I think I'm going to ramp the light up to 90% and see what happens. It can't do any damage as its not working anyway!

Flow is fine, nutrients are fine, co2 is fine. How far away is your light fixture from the substrate?So i have gone 80% as i cannot move the light any higher I'll ramp this to 85% over the next couple of days. Lets see what happens! I'm still getting my 1 ph drop and dosing EI, so happy that i got those covered. I'm also dosing Easy Carbo at the normal doseage!
Still thinking i might go to a lily pipe and see if i can get the flow to move around the tank, but for now lets see what the increase in lights do!
Take it up to 90 and you will be fine.38 CM from the Monte Carlo. The substrate increases in height towards the back.
When did you up the light? How many days now?So it looks like i am now sucessfully growing algae. Plants are showing more signs of melting.
Maybe you need to give it some chance...forget about algae...concentrate on growing plants as i did...I have mine at 100% and 45cm from the substrate...two days!
