Default Eclipse 12 - Amazon sword unhealthy

"Paige" wrote in message ink.net...
I also have an Eclipse 12 and the lighting in these tanks is not strong
enough to support an amazon sword.

We've had great luck with crypt's and anubias with the 13 watt light that
comes with the tank.

The plant seems to be comming back. It has some new leaves growing at
the bottom and its started some off shoots close by. I trimmed some of
the dead leaves and it looks much better now.

Only thing chemically I noticed was that the Alkalinity was low, but
the pH, Nitrate, Nitrite, and Hardness were fine.

Does anyone have a good resource to learn about alkalinity/buffering?
