I'm experiencing Staghorn algae in my Juwel Rio 125 LED.
I can just control this through constant spot dosing and high maintenance etc but as we know this isn't a long term solution.
Tank Parameters:
40% weekly water changes
Lights on 7 hrs per day
Co2 around 30ppm on 1hr before light on (Ph drops to 6.3, drop checker yellow)
6ml Tropica Specialised fert daily
2.5 ml Excel carbon daily
AlgExit weekly dose
Nitrate reading 0
Tank flow just increased to 1400 l/h (waiting to see outcome)
Looking at the Tropica web site people seem to be adding more fertiliser than myself, should I increase it?
I'm frightened to increase the Co2 and can't think what else to do.
However, with all this said the tank looks good and plant growth is excellent.
Any other advice or comments would be appreciated.
Kindest Regards: Peter
