So in just planted my old 55 gallon tank, I used the Miracle Grow Organic Choice suggeted by pretty much everyone. I added some crushed coral and fluorite instead of red clay for an Iron additive, I soaked the mix for a day to try and get all the wood chips out, and redried it. In the tank I used an inch of substrate and 1 and 1/2 inch gravel cap. I planted my tank with a various assortment of crypts, some Jungle Val, Anubias Nana, and water wisteria. I ran carbon for 3 days in my Aquaeom 75 piggy back filter and did several water changes including a 100% water change after my Amonias spiked for some reason. It's been hell, I've lost almost all of my water wisteria, and a piece of drift wood to this weird clear white mold, and all of my plants roots have turned almost all the way transparent which I was told was caused by vitamin deficiency (but I though using dirt did quite the opposite), plus all the leafs are wilting except the Anubias Nana I have stuffed in my remaining peice of Driftwood. My PH was really high (8.0) and I'm treating that now. Other than that all of my other levels are not terrible. Where did I go wrong, and what can I do to save my remaining plants? Please help
