Has anyone else had issues with what I can only determine is BBA growing on FloraBase granules?
For months now I've being trying to eradicate the stuff with no joy at all - it grows a little bit on a single granule, like a tiny mini beard really, like a little tuft of fine grass.
However many I pick out within a week they are back again, even daily picking out just keeps on top of them - if I leave it a few days they are back.
I'm dosing full EI for the size of tank, TPN for trace, 2x15w tubes over the 24x12x12 tank filtered by a TetraTec EX600 alongside a Koralia Nano. Usual 50% weekly water change. I tried dropping lights down - initially this appeared to help, but 2 months later things are no different than they were before I put the lighting times down.
Anyhow, I'm at a loss now - I'm close to stripping the substrate out and going for something else, it's driving me bonkers!
