planted 55, 29, and 10 problems

as stated I have 3 planted tanks.

10 gallon:

substrate-play sand

heater- great choice slim heater (el cheapo for now)

lighting- 2 cfl bulbs from walmart in a hood (until I get led)

filter- whisper filter from walmart with fluval media designed to fit in my fluval hob filter, rigged but works really good and was very cheap lol

plants-décor- 1 amazon sword 1 anubias congensis 1 fake tree root.

fish- 1 dwarf flame gourami 1 rubber lip 4 black tetras 4 danios

haven't had the tank set up long but plants look good and fish are doing great.

29 gallon:

substrate- play sand mixed with carib sea flora max substrate

heater: not sure the name, got it from walmart keeps tank at 78-79 all day and night

lighting: National geographic led light, absolutely love it

plants- anarchis, xmas moss, dwarf hairgrass, java ferns,1 amazon sword, 1 plant I don't know the name of but I think its an anubias of some sort

filter- fluval hob size is 30 its a 3 stage filter and does a great job

fish-5 neon tetras, 5 glow light tetras, 1 gourami, 4 long finned black skirt tetras, 1 algea eater, 2 snails, and a Julia catfish

plants are doing great had them for a long time, rarely trim anything in the tank and they look healthy, my favorite of the three

55 gallon:

substrate- bottom layer sakrete multipurpose sand, top layer carib sea flora max

heater- same as 29 gal just a size bigger, again heats tank 78-79 all day long

lighting- national geographic led light, same as 29 just for a 55, love this one as well

plants- dwarf hair grass, java ferns, amazon swords, many different anubias

filter- fluval 306 canister filter, like the fluval hob filter just on steroids lol great fliter I also have a bubble bar to agitate the surface in this tank

fish- 2 tiger barbs, 3 bala sharks, 3 eclips catfish, 2 angel. 2 paroon sharks, 1 huge pleco, 1 rubber lip. yes I know most of these fish will get to big for this tank eventually that's not my worries, my worries in this tank are the plants... they are all getting a lot of dead spots and major browning its planted about as heavily as my 29 gallon is, they aren't starving eachother out they just aren't growing well and im not sure why, ive trimmed a little but not a ton. I dose each tank with c02 booster every day, do water changes every so often, and dose with excel once a week, sometimes twice. the only tank im having problems with my plants is my 55 though. anyone have any ideas on why that would be?
