So I overcame my initial onslaught of hair algae but am now plagued by a spiderweb like layer of brown algae on the bottom of my tank and strangling my HC. I dose some various seachem products:iron, trace, comp, and mainly excel. The tank is an ADA 45p with an 18" Ray 2 on top and pressurized co2. Filtration is an eheim 2217 with a 2215 impeller so around 200gph through a lily pipe. I will post pics tomorrow. And help would be VERY appreciated. I'm starting to get frustrated as the tank has now been flooded for over a month.
Thanks...:redface:
I might consider source for macronutrient's NPK= Nitrogen,phosphates,pottasium.
Of what you are using now ,the only one with the afore mentioned macronutrient's is the flourish comprehensive, and the amount's are prolly not enough for CO2 enhanced (EXCEL) or CO2 injected tank which increases the demand for them.
Greenleaf aquariums.com or Aquarium fertilzer.com offer the macro and micronutrient's in powder form which will last you a long time compared to the product's already bottled which are largely water.
Might also read up on (google),,Estimative index dosing for your size tank.
Keep filter's clean regularly,(monthly)don't over feed,over stock,and perform weekly water changes.
Is what I would suggest.
