I've been fighting a losing battle against BBA for nearly a year now. I;m not overrun with it, but just can't get rid of the stuff
The tank is 8o ltrs. 2 foot long; 1 foot wide and 15 inches high. The lighting is about four inches above the water surface.
I have pressurised CO2. The drop checker never moves from green, Co2 come on and hour before lights on I have tried the lighting at 5, 6 and 7 hourly periods over the year.
The tank has a Fluval 104 external filter with spray bar. To increase flow I have added a power head pump attached to another spray bar. Both spray bars spraying across the top of the tank, and then being forced down the front glass. I can't see flows being the problem. All plants are moving about nicely
I dose daily EI doing.
I have tried doing spot dosing also with Easycarbo.
My lighting is two 24w T5 tubes. As a last resort (tonight) I have removed one of the tubes. This doesn't seem to have made an adverse affect the appearance of the tank.
I think I must have read everything about BBA, and tried everything.
Any suggestions please. Will removing one tubes help matters?
Thanks
