Hello,
I have a low light aquarium 48x20x28(h) and 120W (4x30w) lighting with reflectors. This aquarium has been in a prolonged period of neglect for about a year after i lost insterest following a major mishap in my other aquarium over a year ago.
Anyway I now have regained the enthusiasm to restart, but in the above aquarium thereis BGA infestation, i am currently blacking out after doing a major water change and clean up. BGA was there before i kind of gave up, but I was not dosing then. My question is should i add KNO3 to this aqurium even though i am not adding CO2 and the lighting is low? Is this likey to eradicate BGA? If i should how often would you do it in this situation?
Have to say i hate the stuff, dont have an issue with other algae.
Now that i have just ordered a python the biggest bain of the hobby (IMO) waterchanging might not be as much of a chore.
Oh and BGA is the second bain of the hobby...or at least i hope it wont be if i can sort it.
The other aquarium 60x20x24 will be a high tech, but this time i will do EI dosing from the start. It has 4x 54w T5s, co2 etc.
Thanks
