Hi,
few weeks ago, I received from a guy a new moss covered with BBA.
I dipped the moss into a 1:10 Easy Carbo solution and putted it after doing so back to tank.
Unfortunatly doing so has not killed the BBA and the algae still starts to spread around. After some testing I figured out that for some reasons my EC bottle didnt work well - so, I ordered now Seachem Excel.
Otherwise, I also see that H202 spotthreatments kills BBA quickly, so I am not sure what is the better solution?
Overdosing Excel or H202?
I guess 2-3x overdosing Excel should work, but at last I am not sure what will do more harm to sensitve plants/moss. So, how much ppm H202 would be required into the watercoloum to kill BBA? Will it work with just 1ml/gal or is something high around 2-3ml/Gal necessary for BBA?
