I don't keep fish, I keep water. Water keeps fish.

Whilst all my fish are doing well (which is the most important thing) the aesthetics of the tank has taken a bit of a dip.
All of my Anubias is slowly melting away... The amount of leaves I lose on a daily basis is insane and I have no idea where I'm going wrong with it...
I dose API leaf zone once a week after each water change.
This is my current light settings;
There's also alot of brown algae on the seiryu stone now which whilst the Mrs likes it I'm not a fan...

The tank looks quite bright. Anubias don’t like bright lighting...?
They’re also slow growing so maybe too much food...?

I bumped up the lighting purely for the photo, it's no where near that bright with it's usual setting - OK maybe I'll reduce the regularity and amount I dose.black ghost wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 18:18 pm The tank looks quite bright. Anubias don’t like bright lighting...?

It might be worth spot dosing some peroxide and lowering the brightness right down. Anubias can grow in room lighting so enough light to see the fish works well.

It might do, it does prefer softer acidic water

Undecided if this has improved the look of the tank but I've added the following plants as a bit of a test to see what I can keep alive 
1 X Anubias Barteri var. Glabra
1 X Anubias Hastifolia
1 X Anubias Gracilis
1 X Anubias Minima
1 X Microsorum Narrow Leaf
1 X Microsorum Pteropus Trident
