BBA and Glosso

I think your BBA may be due to your non-CO2 and 2wpg - too much light.

Blackouts don't work on BBA, nor most algae.

Have you tried the overdosing Flourish Excel method? I fear that this will only be a temporary measure though.

You need to solve the cause of the BBA and inject CO2.

I have personal experience of Excel, you may be able to use this instead of CO2 but it will work out more $$$, and probably less effective.

 

Too much light...

Edited: Tom's right on the W/C's I forgot about the rebound affect. Old habits die hard ! My Bad !!!

Double dose Excel. SAE's and Amano shrimp would help, but until you go to Co2 this will be a re-occuring scenario. You could lower the light, and dose religeously W/ Excel for the short term.

The thing is, if I see BBA I know I can simply increase Co2, and watch it melt away in a matter of days. You can do that W/ Tanked Co2 ! If You don't want to go to Co2 then simply decrease the light.

What is your W/C routine ? What is your light cycle ? and Yes I'm Paul Parroting George, he's right of course. Good Luck, Prof M
