Hi

before you start putting nitrates in the tank

How tall is the tank
How far are the lights from the surface
what sort of reflectors are you using
when did you last change the bulbs

If you are going to feed ...I suggest you use the root tabs rather
than put free nitrates in the water

Free nitrates vs root tabs really depends on the plant and substrate.
KNO3 works VERY well for stem plants and floating plants. Swords and
crypts prefer substrate fertilization.
