    Getting on top of BBA

    Hi Folks My 300ltr tank had a serious BBA problem for many months which resisted all my tweaks, potions and changes until the point when the CO2 drop checker reached yellow and I nearly nuked all the fish one weekend. After that I decided BBA was far better than a fishless tank. So I wound...

    Green film on the surface

    Cylinder Pressure

    Hi Murphy's law - my CO2 ran out on 30th December and the nearest refill centre was closed until January 3rd. As I was also away for the New Year festivities I put the cylinder in the boot of my car, where it stayed in below freezing temperatures until yesterday when I managed to get a refill...

    Rams and Excel

    Hi Since (over)dosing Flourish Excel to get rid of BBA I have lost two of my four blue rams. A third is now also looking quite ill. The symtoms are bulging eyes, darkening colour and general lethargy before expiring. Has anyone experienced Excel causing such problems or is this just...

    Dosing All-in-one

    Hi I spend a lot of time away from home so have to manage my 325ltr tank around my schedule. When I go off I usually do a 30% water change and add the equivalent days dose of James' All-in-one to cover the days I'm away. Usually about 3 x the normal daily dosage. I have noticed that after one of...

    Newbie trying to understand Algae problem

    Since beginning my experiment with 'All-in-one' in my 130 x 50 x 50cm 325 ltr tank. http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3157 I have been very happy with the results in terms of plant growth. However the algae issue is baffling. When I started, BGA was a problem. That's diminished quite...

    Newbie requires help with quantities

    Hi I'm new to all this but after reading the posts here and the info at James Planted Tank I am taking the plunge into ferts for my 325 ltr tank. My lifestyle doesn't permit the routine required for E.I. so it's "All-in-one" for me with 30% water changes every week or two. James' All-in-one...
