Hey guys! So I'm having some BBA issues on my slower growing plants in both of my tanks. I've also noticed that these are in direct flow. I have enriched CO2 and ferts. Apparently my tank has perfect water conditions. Few things I will be doing to get rid of this.
1. I will raise my lights a bit
2. I unplugged my Koralia 4. I do realize, after talking to Tom, that the issue arose after I put this pump in. GONE!
3. On my next water change, I will spot dose with H2O2. I need to find Excel locally. Once I get that, I'll spot dose with it as well.
4. I'm not sure about pinching the leaves as this is on buces. They already are slow growers, and I don't wish to make them any slower. On my java ferns, I can pluck the leaves no issues. Ironically I have a huge area covered with anubias bartari var. bartari that has absolutely no BBA on it at all. So this is definitely related to flow.
I will follow up with results in the following weeks.
