Hi guys, yet again, the dreaded hair algae and BBA combo has hit me.. co2 comes on 3 hours before lights, and drop checker is lime green at lights on, and throughout the photoperiod.
tank: 35llitres
filtration: ttex600-600lph, slowed down by in-line diffuser, and glassware
circulation: 1200lph external pump, turned down to reasonable level
dosing: tpn+ 2ml daily, easycarbo 2ml daily, PO4
lighting: 3x8w luminaire
The moss at the front of my tank is attracting hair algae, and im not sure why anymore, circulation is good, if anything too much.. maybe thats the problem? ive been trying to remove as much as i can, and squirting the easycarbo over the infected area, but its not going away, i think, yes i suppose i could rid my tank of it by taking the infected mosses out, but then what would i be achieving, as its still going to come back..
i read an article yesterday, about a tank with low lights and high nutrients, although my lights are not that low, it was saying that frequent water changes would be needed
also, am i supposed to have any surface movement on the tank?
thanks.
