bba

Does BBA go away if you keep co2 at 30ppm? If so how long does it take for it to go away. I've been plague with bba for years now and I'm totally fed up with it. I have tried h202 treatment, kept my tank absolutely clean with trice weekly water changes using turkey baster to dislodge detritus...

If we need to get into the lighting, co2 and water parameters on my tank then we can address that later if need be. What I'm looking for is any basic suggestions on how to Kill or control BBA . A short while ago I did back off my co2 because I thought it was too much. When I looked at the...
