Nightmare Day....

[BigIan]

we wen`t down to see the girlfriends family what was supposed to be one day but ended up 2, when we came home the lights had blown on the marine tank and my planted tank was full of green spot alge, hair alge, and black beard alge.

Not a happy bunny.
after missing 2 days off my E.I regimn i was expecting some alge, but its every where....i`ve pulled out the worst affected leaves, what else can i do?
would dosing with seachem flourish help with the BBA?

I know green spot algae must be removed by hand and amano shrimp love hair algae so if you could buy them they could clean it up for you, don't know anything else, sorry.

theres 10 or 12 ammano shrimp in the tank some where.... think it may have just bloomed too fast,, i know the green spot has to be removed by hand aswell,(green side of a sponge does the trick well)

its the BBA i`m woried about

Ya I think it's something with dosing that gets rid of it, sorry don't know it, might be able to find it with search, know there's post on how to get rid of it.

You could use the seachem excel overdose method to get rid of the BBA, but it is known to affect other plants, particularly the thin leaved ones like hornwort and it killed my riccia when I tried it.
