Would appreciate some help here with the 40cm...
I've got rid of my staghorn algae since getting back from college just over 2 weeks ago, but I'm still stuck with BBA and BGA. I'm dosing 2ml of ADA Step1 (Trace) and Brighty K per day, as well as 1ml of Special Lights (N+P). CO2 has been increased to 2bps straight into the filter inlet. I saw on James' website that the BGA could be due to low nitrates, dirty filter or low flow. It's not the filter or the flow, so it must presumably be the nitrates? I thought I was dosing a fair amount though? Should I inrease the Special Lights dose? :?
As for the BBA, I increased the CO2 to from 1 to 2bps a couple of weeks ago, but it still hasn't shifted or shown any signs of going anywhere. The only thing I can think is to dose with excel, but surely the algae would just return if the problem isn't fixed?
Cheers,
Tom
