    Hi all, im new to this forum and would very much appreciate advice from experts here. I recently setup a new 36m tank with the intention of keeping CRS only, this tank is still in its 3rd week of fishless cycle and following is its specs

    Tank: 36 by 22 by 26
    Filter: Shiruba XB303 power filter
    Substrate: ANS Planta soil
    Light: Nemolight 18W
    Diy NEO CO2
    Water temp: 25-27

    Im having 8hrs of 75% percent brightness, adding beneficial bacteria every water change (50% twice weekly for 3 weeks). I did not add any fert, my other plants are all doing well (can see growth) but my monte carlos does not root well and 30% has since melt away and this morning i saw BHA on my moss!! I have never planted monte carlo moss before so im not experienced. I understand there is a transition period but 3 weeks? Does anyone has any advice?

    Many thanks in advance!

    it will need some time for the plant to adapt and root for you..
    even after replanting, my MC are turning brown.. but after that it will spread like wild fire..
