I have in the past couple of months won a hard long battle in eliminating Cyanobacteria by using Ultralife Blue-Green Slime remover which I am thankful for, however
I now have an explosion of Green Hair Algae and would just like to know how I can combat this ?
Any helpful suggestions would be...
Hi Geoffrey....Is this too much lighting then and what would you suggest changing with my current lighting period to ?
Also, if I was to clean the substrate are we talking just running the siphon over the top of the substrate or actually into the substrate ?
Have attached some photos of full...
Thanks for your advice Darrel. I might go for the TNC Complete then as the Solufeed looks a bit complicated.
I will start reintroducing the macro / micro ferts now then
At risk of me sounding thick are you recommending then that I dispense of the nitrate, carbon and rpre-filter floss then 🤔...What I have always found to be confusing is that Juwel recommend using a nitrate sponge but on the other hand I normally add nitrates to the tank with the ferts I use so...
So what do you suggest. Ive heard differing stories about TNC Complete & that it can be harmful to the fish ?
I have a Nitrate sponge in the Juwel filter box because that is what Juwel recommend and I have always used themm in my setup
I have NOT vacumned the substrate as yet but I will do if recommended
I have just added 10 stems of Ambulia because a member suggested I should add some fast growing stem plants although they will probably be covered in this algae in a couple of days
I tried a 5 day blackout because it was...
Does this mean removing the carbon, nitrate and coarse / fine sponges from the Juwel filter and also the carbon media from the Fluval therefore running both filters without any media ?
Hi just a quick update on state of play. I did as Tam suggested and turned off lights for full 5 days following water and I have not added any nutrients macro or micro for 7 days but have been adding liquid carbon daily.
I did a water change today and although there was not as much algae on the...
I use macro / micro ferts on alternate days and always have done so do you think I should stop adding ferts altogether. Also, should I siphon the substrate at all ?
Sorry my mistake. I've had the tropica soil in place for well over a year so do you think the nutrients it held would be getting depleted by now. I assumed (probably again my mistake) that whatever the substrate I should be adding macro / micro ferts anyway but I'm open to suggestions
