Plants dissolve

[MiZubov]

Hi!
I have 30l tank.
RO water, but stones makes my water kH 10, gH 10
High pressure CO2 system
Substrate JBL Manado
Now I am dosing:

• Seachem Phosphorus = 0,48 ppm PO4/week
• Seachem Nitrogen = 2,64 ppm NO3 /week
• Seachem Iron = 1,1 ppm Fe/week
• Seachem trace - 4 ml/week
• Seachem Flourish - 1,5 ml/week

But my plants dissolve and it has very little new leaves: Monte Carlo, Staurogyne, Rotala etc...
Any question?

Your tank parameters seem ok. It looks like only the bottom part of the plants is dissolving. If these are new plants from the shop then its normal when they are converting from emmersed to submerged growth patterns

I don't think you are dosing enough macro with co2... only 2ppm of nitrogen and flourish is just liquid roubles if anything...

Do you know if you have any magnesium in the water?

Those really. I know that @M.eremin <"wants to use"> an <"aquarium"> fertiliser, but I think that is, at least some, of his problem, the <"Seachem products"> aren't supplying enough and / or all <"of the plants requirements">.

It is just you need to supply all of the essential nutrients for plant growth. If any nutrients are missing all together? You don't get any growth.
