Hey guys, so I'm trying to get a carpet of dwarf hairgrass going so I bought some from the petshop. I divided up the pieces, spread them out, and planted them. They seems to be slowly turning yellow and brown though and I believe they are dying. Thoughts?
I also had some halferi in there once before and it also slowly withered and died. Guess grass type plants hate me haha.
Its in a 5 gallon fluval spec, I dose twice a week with excel flourish, light is 4.5 hours on and 19.5 off. (I had a major issue with algae with the tank before which I believe was partly due to the light, so that's why its on so little.).
Do you think it could be because the light isn't on so much? I used to do 6 hours on but that seemed to be what caused all the algae. Also I just trimmed them, as I had read on a different post that it helps to trim them, to encourage new growth.
