Hi,
I just joined this forum thx to AQ's link which brought me to the EI and i subscribed to this forum... =)
ermm... i have some algae problem...
my tank is only 1 1/2 months old...
but i didn't know abt EI till last week...
so as expected, i screwed up the initial tank and i algaes...
I'm infected with BBA, staghorn/hair algae??? Its thready and green spot algae @ the glass...
how do i get rid of it???
BBA grows on my "uncovered" driftwood... the bare surface are infected with bba and even some on my moss... i tried to take it out and scrub it away and apply some exel on it... but after a few days it stills come back...
well and my E tennellus and some other plants have been infected with hair/staghorn algae...
so how do i remove them???
my tank is 4x1.5x1.5 ft @25degree C
which is around 200l
with 144W of FL lighting duration of 3 hours (rest 3 hours) and turned on for 5 hours total of 8 hours
running of co2 with solenoid and its around 3bps... using internal reactor with a fast flowrate pump which causes the misting effect...
my tank bubbles like crazy but i just dont know how to dfeal with my algaes...
im dosing of
5ppm of magnesium
12ppm of NO3
16.7ppm of K
0.4 of FEdta
so what should i do??? thx alot
