i'm saying a prayer for you mate. you've put a lot into this, if by any chance it does fail, pick yourself straight back up and do it again.

aaronnorth said:GSA, hair algae & rotting all leads to CO2 defficiency. What colour is the drop checker and is it diffusing efficiently and being distributed correctly?
flygja said:Get some ottos and Siamese Algae Eaters in there. Ottos will wallop the diatoms within a couple of days!
samc said:thats what i would do but with the co2 so high i would gas them in no time
Garuf said:I'm pretty certain you'll hear the same from many but up your Co2 and lower your light. Your dosing could well be inadiquate so double dose with EI. You might also need to improve/change your flow pattern to see if that helps.
