Never used them but meant to be really good bit's of kit but tbf i've never had problems getting the plants to grow if any think i've had problems with them going wild i used 2 lighting tube set up cant remeber the exact one's but one was anti algae and the other was suited for the plants i chose also went with a base layer or plant feed and an under gravel heating wire which also aid's there growth then my gravel/sand ect on top you tried plant food ect? although does loose the nice crystal clear water so depends what your after any pics of your tank?

Sorry for the lack of punctuation

Tetra C02 kits are well worth the money in my opinion

Im also struggling to find a decent lighting set up.

The tank is 25 gallons 32" long with 24" 18w bulbs but i need to be getting over 50w's.

Cant find any cheap alternative other than changing tank and size.

Yeah i have found a T5 starter kit for £40.

Got to be worth a try.

Dont know what to try first.

Co2 kit?
Plant food?
Higher wattage lights?


Problem i have is my plants last 2 weeks to a month and start going brown at the end and dye.

You checked all your chemical levels? I would try the bulbs or the co2 kit as there around the same price no? As for the feed your going to need an empty tank so probably not the best option unless you plan on emptying ect

Yeah all nitrates/nitrites/ammonia is spot on.

Might increase the bulb wattage with some t5 lights and go from there.
