I had a count up today, and a good look around my struggling 37gallon tank and I have the following algae types:
Ive just started doing proper EI, today is the first day, and Ive noticed that my CO2, (thanks to Vaughn explaining how to use a drop checker properly), is only 9ppm. I have a nice pressurised CO2 kit coming complete with a solenoid. My lighting is 2.1wpg of T8 over the tank.
Im hoping that once I get it all in place, that Ill start to see a reduction in the algae together with increased plant growth.
I thought it might be interesting for me to keep this thread updated with occurrences as they happen, changes/no changes.
Im pretty much a newb at this, so Ill do my best. If others have done this to death lemme know and Ill just keep quiet
- BBA - only on driftwood oddly, its never gotton onto the plants.
- cyanobacteria - mainly in the front sand patch that gets a slightly shaded flow.
- brown algae - keeps getting onto fittings
- small amount of GDA - on the glass but only very small amounts.
