Hi everyone, I'm new here and I decided to create an account to ask for some advice on my plants, which just don't seem to be doing very well at all despite co2 injection and EI dosing.
Tank: Juwel Rio 125
Filter: Stock Juwel internal filter
Lighting: Stock 2x Juwel 'Day' t5's with a 6 hour photoperiod (recently increased from 5)
Co2: JBL m500 co2 canister and JBL Count Safe bubble counter. Diffused via JBL ProFlora Taifun diffuser. Co2 is turned on 2 hours prior to lights on and switched off 1 hour prior to lights off. Drop checker is green at lights on.
Ferts: Co2 Art 'EI Easy Way' high tech Macro and Micro solution. As per instructions I dose 12 pumps of each on alternating days Monday to Friday. On a Saturday I dose Flourish Iron in an attempt to help out the red plants but with no success. Sunday is a 50% water change with no fert dosage.
Here's some pictures:

Monte Carlo Melting?:
Red plants - dying/brownish lower leaves covered in BBA:
Hair Algae on Jungle Val - No Growth for a While:
The other large leafed green plants (sorry I don't know the name) seems to develop holes in their leaves and along with the jungle val don't seem to experience much growth. Could trimming the tops of these plants have damaged them?
