It starting to go - seems shrimp love the stuff!

Hmm, it's a 3 month old eheim 2213 - I stripped the tank bare (except for the filter media) to get rid of this but back it comes! :( What do you think about no light? I have a 11w PC over it (30l), EI dosing plus high Co2 (drop checker almost yellow). Lighting is 6 hours a day at the moment...

Hi all, I've got a really annoying algae that starting to annoy me... I thought it was the usual diatoms as the tank is only a few weeks old but it's growing in threads rather than a film. It seems brittle as if rubbed it breaks up unto tiny needle like pieces. Anyway, here's a photo:

Yup, shrimps love the stuff!

I'm guessing the clumpy stuff is black brush algae, there’s not much that will eat this unfortunately. Have a look here to find out what algae you have and some treatment advice. Matt's right about the flow, I was convinced I had enough but eventually added a large internal pump (Koralia) and...

I found that I couldn’t reverse it, only stop\slow its growth. It's almost gone via spot killing using easycarbo and trimming leaves. Of all the algae issues I have had over the years BBA is by far the slowest to respond to changes. I would keep doing what you’re doing mate; leave the Co2...

I've managed to make a dent in the BBA on my slower growing plants by not adjusting the Co2 for a few weeks (so it's stable), Doing water changes well before the lights come on (stable Co2), double dosing easycarbo and removing infested leaves.

Hi Paul, I think you have answered your own question there; not adding nutrients early on caused the plants to use what was available then stall. The decaying leaves will be releasing ammonia back into the water feeding your various algae blooms. If your algae situation is really bad I would...

Wheres George? :lol:
