Hello,
I have algae in my tank - which is okay. As part of my efforts to understand and experiment more, I've been injecting 2ml of Easy Carbo into the tank every morning, and reducing lighting duration to 5 hours (from 7). Using a Chihiros A-series over a 60-P. Not using compressed CO2.
By all means let me know if I should do more/something else; but look, my bba went red/purple...
This is the tank about a week ago...
I'd just removed a lot of duckweed, and planted Potamogeton gayi behind the wood to hopefully help outcompete the algae. It's not a great photo, but it does the job.
(WC 25% weekly, lighting 5 hours a day + 1 hour in evening, 3ml of Tropica Specialised a week, 2ml of Easy carbo daily). Plants are Eleocharis acicularis 'mini', Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo, Sagittaria Subulata needle, a few crypts (albida brown, lutea Hobbit, spiralis) and finally Potamogeton gayi, and fissidens fontanus).
