Afternoon all,
At the moment, the ONLY algae I have any sort of issue with is BBA which is forming ugly pom-poms on the substrate.. Its only in the lower layers of my tank, so I am assuming this is a circulation issue at those lower levels.
The tank is 54l and filtered by an Eheim 2213, giving me a turnover of about 9x. I'm currently only using the standard green outlet pipe, although lily pipes are on the mid-term shopping list.
Does anyone have any clever ways to increase circulation at those lower levels with the set up I have? I cannot easily lower the outlet pipe in the tank, given the design of it.
Also, any clever ways to remove it without removing my entire glosso carpet?
The rest of the tank is fine and healthy (happy with CO2 levels, good plant health etc.) so if I crack this, I could be algae free...!
Many thanks all,
Ben
