I am struggling just a bit with BBA which is growing only on my Redmoor Wood. With the exception of a minor amount of Rhizo and an even smaller amount of green spot algae everything else is growing/going extremely well. The tank has now been setup and running for about 8 weeks. From reading on here it seems that BBA is normally as a result of fluctuating or low CO2. This is strange as I have 10 (rated) times turnover with pressurised CO2 and am using EI with dry salts and the wood with the BBA is in probably the highest flow area. I have reduced my dosing of PO4 and increased KNO3 slightly to see if this helps (is this correct?).
Can somebody please advise on the following:
1. Is Flourish Excel identical to Easy Carbo as reading on here it seems overdosing with this might eliminate my BBA although obviously not solve why BBA is appearing?
2. At what level can I overdose with either Flourish Excel or Easy Carbo such that I don't risk zapping my Amano shrimp?
Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
