I seem to have a bit of BGA in my new tank, but I've read that it often appears due to low Nitrates.. which makes no sense because my test kits show up high amounts of Nitrates. the Brown diatoms are gone but now there is a bit of this BGA + some Green Spot Algae. The BGA seems to be concentrated around my clumps of Dwarf Hair Grass but I think it might have spread to some stones as well.
I've started to use a AquaMedia 1000 for CO2 hooked up to my old JBL Filter.. so that the Aquamedic wouldn't restrict the flow of my larger new Eheim filter:
My tank:
170L
Filter 1: Eheim Professional 3 350T (1050L / hour)
Filter 2: JBL CristalProfi 700 (700L / hour)
CO2: Aquamedic 1000 hooked up to Filter 2.
Substrate: ADA Amazonia + Power Sand
PH: 6.55
KH: 7
CO2: 2 bps
NO2: 0
NO3: 25-50
NH4: 0
Phos: 5-10? (test isn't very accurate as it shows 0, 10, 20 readings)
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
