I'm trying to cycle my new planted tank. In the early going, my pressurized CO2 was down for a week, and during that time the algae went crazy
I'm not sure if this was due to lower CO2 levels, or if my tank went thru a "silent cycle"? I've had some cycling fish in there for 3 weeks & still no nitrites/nitrates, that's another story:icon_ques
While doing a water change last night, the algae was so bad I decided to remove most of my plants and do a hydrogen peroxide dip. Did ~33% water change with RO water, and now not sure what to do? Mst of my plants are in tubs. I am keeping my lights to 7 hrs/day, doing water changes 1-2 times per week, and can't imagine Phosphates are a problem since I mix lots of RO with my well water.
Not sure what my next action should be as I don't want to go back to where I was last night (see before & after pics).
I appreciate any suggestions :help:
