I have a 55 gallon tank with gravel over kitty litter as a substrate. I just put new lighting in and most of the tank is doing great. I have aponogeten that is growing like crazy and spiral val is also doing good. The main problem that I am seeing is holes in the leaves of any sword plants that I put into the tank. I'm trying to discover the cause of the problem and how to correct it.
I'm beginning to think that I may have too much gravel over the kitty litter and the sword roots are reaching past the gravel. I know I may need to add some ferts too, but adding Leafzone doesn't seem to help the problem any. A few of the leaves also start to show a yellowish color, but it is only on the sword plants. Any thoughts?
What ferts are the best to use for planted tanks?
