Before I go ahead and do it, just wanted to make sure I've got things right!
The tank in question is my 30L biorb. El naturel, with no filter. Just an airstone. The algae came in on some vallis, and has now spread nicely for me Had no bloomin problems with this tank before that! Residents are some celestial pearl danios. I have a 2ml syringe for squirting with, so I just want to make sure I do it right! I had a moment and tugged out the vallis and binned it! So there is only algae on the little cluster of hairgrass at the front, because the stuff's so delicate, I'm having a job removing it manually, but I've done my best. Just want to kill of the remaining stragglers. So, how much do I squirt? And should I do it before a water change? If so, how long before?
Algae is that green hairy/stringy stuff which is evil!
Tank is 30L.
Soil substrate capped with a mix of sand and small pebbles.
Biorb lighting and filtration are gone.
Lit with an 18W tube mounted above.
Airstone is at the back next to the heater.
amonnia etc stay at 0, nitrates are highish. 40-50ppm.
I use a mix of RO and tap, mostly tap though.
There's amazon sword, hygrophilia, hairgrass and I'm afraid I can't name the other one! But can add a piccy for id if it's relevent. Everything else is growing well and happily, particularly the amazon swords! Harigrass is struggling on despite the algae, so I'm confident it can be rescued.
Thanks in advance guys!
