What size is the tank Dave?

What is the lighting period and what type of lighting is it?

This will certainly contribute to your problems. You've replaced your mature substrate with something that is free of good bacteria. Did the water go cloudy when you first refilled?

Looks like BBA. You will need to provide some more information on your tank like lighting type, wattage and duration, is it Co2 injected, tank size and filter etc

I think if we go by what Clive said earlier in the thread about 0.6-7 PH drop for lights on then this looks good. Do you dose liquid carbon? It might speed up getting rid of the algae.

Is your atomiser on the inlet or outlet of the filter?

Thanks Clive. I'm asking as my water will bet the same as Berties. So just to check my understating, in this case, we are looking for a 0.5 PH drop before lights?

Clive, Where do you think the PH should be?

Bertie it looks like you are winning the battle. I wouldn't rip those plants out, just do what Hoggie says and what you have been doing.

Give the spraybar a decent go Bertie. If it solved your problems then may be an acrylic one which will not be as noticeable. Good luck :thumbup:

I have used it. I had a serious outbreak of hair algae when trying to optimise my CO2. Once I'd optimised the CO2 the hair algae stopped spreading but I got impatient as it very slow in disappearing. I used two doses of this and within 3 weeks it was gone. That was 3 months ago and it hasn't...
