Hello everybody!
My name is Fernando Muñoz and I´m from Argentina. This is my first message in this forum and I want to ask for pardon because my English is not very good.
I.ve been reading a lot of the messages but I have a serious problem with compsopogon and hear/thread algae in my aquarium and I can´t get rid of it.
My aquarium was set up 2 months ago; the measures are 128cm (L) X 50sm (H) X 48 cm (W). (301 liters)
CO2 pressurized with a Azoo valve with solenoid (more or less 6 bubbles per second ).
The substrate was made with mineralizated soil and I use the EI index as fertilization method. (Micronutrients with CSM+B)
Those are the others parameters:
Light : - 2 55 watts PLL 4000K
-2 75 watts HQI
14 hours per day
pH: 6.5
kH : 3
GH : 8
NH3/NH4: 0 mg/l
NO4: 5 ppm
PO4: 4 ppm.!!
The last two readings surprise me!.
Those are photos 48 hours after the 50% weekly water change and after the manual remove of the algae. In this 48 hours the algae take again the tank. (The aquarium parameters were tested the same day).
The algae seem to affect mainly the Java ferns, Anubias, and Rotala sp.
I didn´t have such bloom of this algae before!!!
I really need your advice!! Thank you very much…..
