Best Way To Handle This?

[stu40]

Hi
had a problem on & off for awhile.Addressed the root problem (dirty substrate), i don't think the internal filter is now upto the job, so am adding an external.

Going to use easycarbo for a couple of weeks to help out with the BBA.I've removed all the vallis for the time being (this is the bulk of my plant mass).

What's the best way to proceed regarding lighting period & ferts levels? Do i want to reduce both, if so, by how much? Or leave as is?

Thanks for any help

you might find if you OD the carbo and drop the lighting to 6 hours or a few days (3-4), it will clear up.

what ferts are you dosing or will be dosing?

Ta.already got lighting at 6hrs.OD= 2 x dose? any affect on OTO's?
Got some TPN+, but also been using potassium nitrate, monopotassium phosphate & trace

no it shouldn't affect the Oto's.

if i was to dose this it would be, 8ml of Easycarbo and 10 ml of TPN+, try and remove what you can manulally as well.
