lol I love your posts about test kits, they do entertain me ;)

Yeah it's always been red, I am dosing easy carbo so it could well be be dying staghorn. I almost wish it would stay like that :)

Could be, does Cyanobacteria grow like that?

Anyone any idea what kind of algae this is, and what causes it? Not seen red algae before, it actually looks quite striking against the green hc and hair grass.

Just an update on the GWA situation. I ended up going the UV route got a 9W one off ebay, couldnt find a second hand one. I did a large water change when I installed it and 3 days later I don't think my water has been this clear since I first setup my tank :) I think I'll leave it on for another...

Yeah will do, just been checking on eBay, nothing less than £30.

Thanks, I'll see if I can find any cheaper.

Thanks ceg, Do you think the one I linked in the first post would be suitable for my size tank (120L)?

thanks guys, I'll try the black out see what happens. I seem to remember a post on how to do blackouts I'll have a look see if I can find it. No direct sunlight, it shines in on the opposite wall to the tank and only in summer, the sun is too low now. No new bog wood, the large piece that's in...

It's a 120L tank. I have an aquamanta efx 300 filter which is rated at 1100lph. I get pretty decent flow around the tank with no dead spots I'm aware of. Nothing decaying that I'm aware of. I've got the odd bit of plant matter but I try to remove that quickly. All fish are accounted for...

Hi all, Since adding pressurised co2 to my tank (was previously using dosing easy carbo only) I'm getting great plant growth but over the past week I've been getting green water. I've upped the amount of water changes but this only reduces it, doesn't get rid of it. Any suggestion on what I...

Just out of curiosity, how would one go about spot dosing easy carbo to infected areas?
