Not strictly algae i know but im after a little help with it.
Ive got a small tank with a volume of around 35l, all it houses is one betta, a few plants (not so many now - most killed by bga) and some bog wood. The problem is the glass, substrate and plants are covered and after manual removal during water changes once a week, its back within 2/3 days. Im dosing using the ei method because that cured the problem in my other tanks and i have adjusted the dose so many times i forget what ive tried and what i haven't now. I am however fairly certain the problem isn't so much nutrient based but flow based.... But im struggling to get the flow right for a betta that doesn't like much flow at all....
If i up the flow, he gets pushed around the tank all day and starts to look scraggly, so are there any suggestions on how i can combat this issue?
