Well a couple months ago it was growing really well and had been since last summer and then I noticed this time, only in certain spots. It was patchy. Then it mostly died so I scraped everything off. Then not much of anything really grew back on until a bit over the last couple weeks but the other day it must've died again.

I've been having problems with my softies and think I might even figured out it was the nitrate test kit. It read 10 when the whole time (since maybe Jan) it had been 0. Phosphates are at .25. So I would assume it was low nutrients; although I've been feeding quitr heavy and the numbers are going up.

Doing something wrong?

Thanks!
