New tank of about 6 weeks which was seeded a fair amount of mature media from my old tank.
It started off really good but suddenly over the last 8 days I’ve gone from almost no real algae to an incredible amount.
I can literally watch them grow in front of my eyes.
i have BBA, green dust and I think a thread or staghorn algae.
My co2 is running lime green and I’ve moved it all over the place to check. I found the back left to be a dead spot so I extended the outlet toward the middle of the tank and added a little 300lph internal pump in the back left to create some turbulence.
I’m going to do another 50+% water change. My tap nitrate are around 40ppm and so the only Parma that seems out of balance on the nitrate.
Co2 comes on two hours before lights.
Lights run for 7 hours and only on full for 4 hours
