Plant has issues but what

Being new to the hobby and learning many lessons the hard way When I started noticing a problem with my live plants and watching a few of Corys vids. I order a bottle of Easy Green from Aquarium Co Op (thanks for the super fast shipment)

how old is the tank?

 

[Bob]

ph? lights? lighting schedule?

 

[Dale]

PH is running low 6.8. I'm trying to get it up a bit using crushed coral in a bio bag in my filter lights anr some crappy white and blue lights that came with the tank. I'll take a pic of them tomorrow

 

[Dale]

Oops I turn the lights on in the am and off around 8 pm

 

[Bob]

6.8 isnt really an issue, i have lots of planted tanks running low 6s

 

[Dale]

how old is the tank?

Ahh the tanks been cycled since the first of April

 

[fish fanatic centeral]

[Dale]

Nope

It is a brown algae that has starte coating the leaves eventually they start to decay
