I have been trying to switch our tank over to a planted tank and have been having trouble in doing so. I am looking for some advice on what to do next. Our test results are:
PH 7.4
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 80-90
Temp 71
Every time I buy some Anacharis it looks nice and dark green but after installing it in our tank it dies. What am I doing wrong?


We have also had a issue that just started with brown algae. I was thinking about tomorrow going and getting some more plants and some Otos to help with the algae. I have been reading that Oto's are big green poopers so do you have to vacuum more to get rid of the green poop?

Thanks for any insight that you can provide,
Eddie
