Hi all,
I've been suffering from some BBA in my cardina shrimp tank for a few months now. It's not overly bad but its starting to grow more and more.
Break down of my tank,
60Litre Tank
Chihiros 2ft Led light ( Set on 3 of 7)
1xsponge filter
Pat mini attached to a double sponge filter.
50w heater.
10/20% water change every week.
I know CO2 is the main culprit of BBA appearing and i've been leaving my tap water to gas off for roughly 3/4 days before doing a water change( i live in Scotland so we have very soft water ). What else could i do ?
The light intensity has been lowered and i gravel vac the substrate so that most of the waste is lifted.
Would adding in some amano shrimp to the tank help ?
Thanks.
