I don’t use an hyperspot on this scape but an aqi 80s model, same model I use on my 45p which is pristine so can’t blame the lights, it’s actually 5400lumens and I managed to get that kind of power on a 60p with my vivid2 so shouldn’t be an issue on this 80cm tankIts going to sound crazy, but I opted not to get a hyperspot recently, because many of the showtanks I saw using that light had a lot of algae issues. Many were scapes from 'pro' scapers that received the light as a preview. Not claiming causality, just correlation But the correlation was such, that I didnt get it in the end, at least not this version of the product. I love the looks, the shimmer, and everything else, and light alone cant cause algae, but I'm paranoid.
so today I kicked myself in the butt and done an big cleaning/manual removing of the ‘algae’ , 70% waterchange, and added 8 otocinclus. Removed all the dead epiphytes (unfortunately 80% of them melted)
actually this stuff isn’t algae, it’s an sort of fungus, problem is that it goes everywhere in the tank with flow or when cleaning it and everything it touches melt...anubia, buce..even stems! Already had this issue with the infamous ‘dragon wood’...this time I had prepared the wood by letting it soak 3 weeks in a tub but it seems that wasn’t enough!
anyway, will continue to manually removing it for the next days and I plan to add 20 amano shrimps this Friday, they will love this stuff!
let’s get this on the track again.
