    I have a planted tank that is over 3 years old. The base fertilizer that was put in has, I think become neutral. I have been adding root monsters and dosing liquid ferts on a monthly basis. The plants don't look healthy at the moment and I am suspecting that they are not getting enough nutrients.

    What should I do with my tank? Is it time for a complete overhaul or is it salavage-able? Thanks in advance.

    Add another layer of soil on top of your current one or you can use hose siphoned top layer and replace with a new layer soil.
