Afternoon all just noticed my pleco is looking alittle round on the belly wondered weather she may be pregnant don't know if someone could tell me from there experience? Cheers Matty

So as of today I've left the light at 75% as it was I'm going to lower all my dosages by 10% and I've added 4 siamese algae eaters with the intension of moving 2 Into my other 29 gallon low tech tank in the future let's see what these can offer me I've done research and they are highly praised...

Yeah everything changed once the new light was added slowly over time it would seem, ive now gravel vexed a 25litre bucket which was black by the time I had finished I was not expecting that in the slightest not as bad as that, I haven't done that for months 😔 its pointing towards poor...

The algae is defiantly getting worse, I'm tempted to maybe do a massive water change stop dosing all the seachem products and start dosing apt complete and turn the lights down to 50% and almost start again give it a few weeks see what happens what do you think

From how I understand it is that possibly I'm over doing it on the ferts and I should maybe try dropping the dosage

It's a 29 gallon yeah I would agree it's over stocked, I don't think i over fed, to be honest the past few weeks I've mainly been feeding decapsulated brine shrimp eggs as I had fry and the fish literally go into a frenze for them so I carried on feeding them, to be honest I haven't tried...

I mean I know no tank is aglae free but it worries me I've seen it get slightly worse over the past few weeks, it's on most plants but very little but I'm stuck in a hard place trying to work out why or where its started, I have noticed maybe cleaning my filter more regularly maybe also help the...

@Byron where did you go 😔🤣

Thanks for the reply yes I'm using co2, I will attach my dosing schedule, I only use the the green highlight products, I'm also using tropica aqua soil, you mention bba I believe that's on the tips of my java fern leaves but very very small it's very compact bushy shape have you to really look...

It's a grayish black colour it's not a problem at the minute, I thought it was staghorn to begin with but this week with more light and more nutrients it seems to be longer single strands more the the staghorn look, seems to be that area infront of the wood that's getting hit more left hand side...

Evening all can anyone confirm what aglae this is and a course of treatment, it's been an on going thing for a while now I've been playing with more nutrients, less light more light.. more light and more nutrients his week has defiantly made it alot worse I cant seem to get a balance l, I'm...
