How to grow Anubias in the Planted Aquarium, Anubias Melt- Bryans Aquarium

Tips, Tricks

1. Yo dustin, that looks like pretty low light. Is that why it's so algae free?
2. Do bright lights hurt anubias?
3. I have two broad leaf anubias plants, one of which spawned another little one via roots coming out of rhizome.  Constantly getting new leaf growth as each leaf eventually grows up about 3-4 inches out of the water (15 gallon tank) then eventually dries out, dies, then becomes part of the 1/2 inch layer of aquarium-generated dirt.  Before a given leaf grows out of the water, it has zero yellowing, zero holes, absolutely perfect.  100% of the water changes I've done on this tank since I began it in Nov. 2013 has been with RO water.  I used to be religious about water changes but since fall of 2014 when I moved from Utah to Chicago I've gotten tremendously lazy with this tank and only top it off with RO water as it evaporates.  Over the last 1-1/2 years, I've probably done 3 or 4 20% water changes.  I run the tank with a Hagen Aqua Clear filter and a fan for churning the water surface further.  Gotta disagree about the hard water thing unless the water hardness is coming from my substrate (Seachem Fluorite Black sand) and / or the decayed plant matter/fish poo/decayed food making up the dirt layer.
4. do you use co2 gen in your anubias tank?
5. De leaves on my anubias nana turns yellow. I already start using 'liquid co2', but i don't see much difference. What can i do?
6. ive cut of the leaves from my anubias and now that leave wood thingy is getting yellow what to do =[??
7. What's up Fishtank People? I am doing a bunch of

8. What is RO water
9. Have had anubias barteri (I think) for a solid year in rodi water-no problems at all. New leaf every 3 weeks, no holes, no yellow absolutely gorgeous. I decided to add fertilizer to get help get rid of diatoms, and freaking leaves start melting, rhizome is changing colors, and now have black algae on leaves and rocks. Lesson learned-don't mess with a good thing!
10. I see a lot of rocks, are they what's keeping the plants in the sand, or is sand enough to keep it down?
11. You gave your plants ph shock with RO, likely RODI... In normal tanks with low ph and RO water anubias is fine... Try not to show bad information.
12. What fertilizer do anubias need?
13. Beautiful tank!!! I've been looking for information on proper anubias care for a while, thanks so much!!!! 
14. Take care of that baby :(
15. Hey dustin ! Great video love the anubias tank . I'm trying to have a tank just like bryans wow what a tank! now this is what i have growing in my tank as of now and what i'm using for ferts and so on.Well this is what i did to the tank i took everything out and cleaned it and replaced with new gravel (had too many dead trumpet snails shells in gravel) as of this morning tank was cycled with (nutrafin cycle) for 15 hours fish are in and doing well. P.H is 7.2, k.h 40,G.H 160,PO4 (4.0),NO3 (0),FE 0.25 . Now with the parameters all in new i can start to fertilize. 
    
    This is what is was doing before. Water change 40% every Friday , no dosing of fertilizer. Saturday before co2 and lights start dosing active 3.5 ml, synthesis 3.5ml, potassium 10ml, flourish 10ml, Iron 14ml, Excel 15ml.  (Sunday nothing) (Monday same as /Saturday) (Tuesday nothing) (Wednesday same as /Saturday) (Thursday nothing) Friday water change and start the week again. 
    
    Now to keep in mind i was dosing both macro and micro fertilizers at the same time not sure if this is a good idea or not on the net from what i read is kind of 50/50.
    
    Pressurized Co2 is running around 24/30 ppm lighting are T5HO 4 bulbs Coralife colormax,coralife 6700k,aquatic life 10000k,aquatic life 420/460 running at 7 hours a day. Light canopy is 30 inches from the gravel bed (tank has a glass cover that the light needs to penetrate)  (The tank size is 150 U.S gallon)  
    
      Plants in tank are anubias nana,Anubias barteri, java ferns, Java Fern Windelov, mellon swords,Ozelot - Red and Amazon Swords, Cryptocoryne wendtii. Any help on what to dose and when would be great. 
    
    Any help or recommendation would be welcomed.
    
    P.S keep up the great videos they are so helpful for the new guy like me.
