I have started to reach the point of no return with frustration, after many months trying to fight all types of algae in my tank and removing it. I have now had a breakout of BBA, despite all my efforts and following advice. Without going into the finer details again, I have maxed out on CO2 and...

Yes, I am using the bucket method but can easily increase the volume of my water changes. I clean the external filter approximately every two weeks. Regards: Peter

It has been some weeks since I last posted an update on my algae problem. However, I can say it is still continuing to plague me. Co2 has been pushed to the point where it starts to upset the fish. I am continuing to dose Tropica + 10mls per day. Water flow around the tank has been maintained...

I am running a 180 litre heavily planted tank. The tank has been set up for over two months and has already passed through the brown algae stage for new tanks. However, after approximately five weeks of the brown algae being absent it has returned! Lighting, C02 and water changes have been...

I have just started to notice Green Spot algae appearing on some of my plants in a newly heavily planted tank that is three weeks old. Tropica Plant Nutrition fertilizer has also been added weekly. However, I am aware my Co2 dosing is not sufficient, this is being addressed by introducing a...

Paul. The tank has been set up for 24 days. Regards: Peter

I have a new 90ltr heavily planted tank that has cycled. I am using a yeast based C02 system and external power filter. The lighting is one Power Glow and one Aqua Glow that are on 6-8hrs per day. I have just noticed what I believe to be Diatom algae coating the plants (it wipes off very...
