Had the tank vended for air. Woke up in the morning there was more white hair fungus and I flooded the tank with co2 and dosing dry ferts. Hopefully the fungus go away and I can drain the tank again.

This is 10hrs after I flooded it with co2 and dry ferts. Hc is pearling and the white fungus are still there moving with the water flow. I finally got my hands on the excel and dosed it already.
So my question is that can I wait till tomorrow to drain the water and diluted the mister with couple drops of excel while I rescape the tank?

You can see the white fungus

My current flooded edge

Ps sry for the bad quality i took the pictures with my iPhone.

I drained the tank and misting it with couple drops of excel and hopefully it'll kill the fungus I'm leaving 1/3 of the opening on the edge and misting it more often

Update, after a day venting my edge, it seems like the fungus is less noticeable now

only see 2 patches of fungus today. Hopefully it can stop complete and my hc would spread nicely again.

@daygoboiz
I've been growing HC emersed in a 6g edge as well for about 1 months now. been looking great and just noticed the same thing you're getting today. About to mist with some excel, how much excel are you using with the water to mist?
