Hi guys, looking for a bit of help with a newly flooded tank.
Setup as a dry start around 1-2 months ago and had been growing well so decided to flood it last week.
35x28x30cm 27L tank.
28 watts of LED running for 6hrs a day. (currently only running 1 light to see if that helps)
Pressurised CO2 starts at 2pm and off at 5pm, drop checker nice and green all-day.
500lph filter returning water via a spray bar, there is lots of flow in the tank.
Tropica soil and JBL volcano mineral substrate.
3ml of the aquascaper ferts added daily.
I am currently doing 80-90% water changes every other day to try and keep it at bay, but it is spreading quickly and can cover most of the tank in 24hrs.
Plants are a full carpet of monte carlo,
rotala h'ra
rotala wallichii
limnophila hippuridoides, I am sure there is more in there I am forgetting.
Any help greatly appreciated, I have dealt with this stuff before in my reef tanks but never on this scale.
Thanks
Nick
