I’m nearly at the point of giving up on my aquascape
Sadly no matter what I do I seem to be suffering constant crippling algae.
BBA has now crept in and joined the green algae infestation.
I have a 130L open tank with twinstar 600 led. Injected co2 and marina cf80 filter plus additional in tank power head for improving circulation.
I run co2 an hour and a half before lights on and off an hour before lights out.
Lights on at 4.30pm and off 10.30pm daily.
Co2 indicator in tank shows light green so co2 looks good.
I dose daily with evolution aqua complete.
Prodibio substrate.
Fish are fed sparingly once a day.
Quite heavily planted with a range of species. I don’t have a huge amount of space left to add more plants although what I have aren’t exactly thriving. Pruned to remove algae and hopefully promote growth.
1 - 2 weekly water changes of between 30 - 50 %.
Not sure where I’m going wrong as I’ve had everything running for over 4 months now so levels aren’t up and down.
Can anyone advise if I’m missing something obvious that may be causing my algae issues?
