I have a few tanks ... but have not been able to get to them all over the last few months.
I stumbled onto the thread about BBA here https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/what-exactly-causes-bba-part-2-bacterial-imbalance.38375/
Since allot of it made sense and I had a BBA issue I decided to change 3 things in the affected tank.
1) add two small SAE's
2) increase fertz
3) Add a truck load of aeration 24x7
My BBA was extensive and the BN's did nothing to curb the growth.
and I doubted these guys would make much of a dent ... it seemed like an H2O2 reset bomb would be needed.
Tanks really was in a bad way - going downhill. 18 Nov 2018 added the aeration.
4 Dec 2018 ...

To say that I am more than pleased with the result would be an understatement.
So thanks to @AndyMcD for not only a great bit of writing and research, but being willing to share it with the world.
I still have some BBA - and I think that is good, but the battle seems to be won.
