@utahfish @seangee Sorry for disappearing on you, I kind of wanted to do something instead of constantly asking advise but not following through. Ended up rescaping and adding an f ton of new healthy plants. Changed to RO water and stabilised my co2 output at 1 bps. Apparently did have a flow...

Good news on that one I guess, not a single shop, storefront or online, has excel on stock. So that's not in the cards. Have you had some experience the hydrogen peroxide method perhaps? My tank is fully cycled so there isn't any ammonia left in the tank, still doing weekly test to keep that...

Well if the anubias aren't right for this tank I do have another tank where I could move them to. The other tank was made with low light in mind so that would work. It's shame though, the anubias I have in the high light tank are growing about 2 new leaves per week. The ones in the low tank have...

I looked up the causes and an nutrient imbalance seems seems the most likely. I already posted and got replies back from you a few times before including a thread on the hardness of my water. I starting reading up on that and found an article that also said that during wc's a lot of the minerals...

Excel will cause fluctuations in co2? Even if I am injecting co2 already?

Yeah it kinda already spread to every plant in the tank. So it might be difficult for the plants to win the battle now if I don't kill the algae first. If you have some experience with using excel I'd live to hear it.

I kind of love my plants so bleach doesn't sound like the way to go. I have to rescape anyway to scrub off the algae on the lavarock and adding a piece of wood. Maybe I'll dip the plants in a hydrogen peroxide solution before planting them back into the tank.

Yeah I was afraid it was BBA but I wasn't sure. None of the algae is really black, even the algae on the stems of anubias does look black but it's becoming almost grey to white as it grows longer. The rest is leaning more towards a lighter green. So I wasn't sure it was green hair or BBA. What...

Hi guys, Sorry got a little swamped at work for bit. Thanks for all the amazing replies already!

Hi guys, Back again with probably yet another rookie problem. I saw some algae growing in my tank a week or 2 ago. Figured it was because I didn't have any algae eaters in the tank so I added some oto's to combat the algae. Fast forward to today and my oto's aren't actually eating the algae...

Yeah I managed to use everything I got from the diy setup. Just need to buy a splitter to make sure I can connect it to both my tanks. It is a lot more straightforward than the diy, open cannister valve adjust with needle valve and done. Managed to buy a complete set from someone that stopped...
