gh (not sure I dose ghbooster tho 1/4t each week at water change)
60 % water change every saturday.. redosing macros upon fill
68 watts over 20'' cube.. and most of the aglage is developing over the Blyxia Albertii which is under the 28 watt fixture. I have almost none under the 40 watt fixture.
Tom I have drunk the KoolAid. I will try anything you suggest. I am already doubling up on water changes to try to beat this back. I am thinking of evicting my poor bristlenose pleco as the fattest poopiest fish -- I feel terrible doing it unless I can find him a NICER home... I am probably slightly overstocked but all the other fish are teeny or skinny(ie 2 farlowella cats -- one pair of cacatoides the male never grew past 3/4 inch the female is normal sized ) 11 ardinals, 7 rasbora espi, a few rummys from another era, a four tilted pencils one blue tetra and one no-named small tetra (both have just been there for 3 years.)
everything growing fast I actually am not sure if it slowed down with the light change.. it may have, but still racing ahead.
I think I have too much substrate and want to pull some out when I do the rescape (if Manzanita.com ever sends me wood
) and from your posts the green algae i've got seems to be the "inherited kind"
