Looks like this staghorn algae is fun to get rid off so far I have
Halved lighting from 4 x 54w to only 2x54w
Have upped CO2 so I'm seeing it tipping yellow at end on drop checker and PH going from 7.6 to 6.4 so presume I have enough CO2 saturation.
Dosing Ei ferts as per there instructions.
50% waterchange on a sunday = 200L
Have added 3 x powerheads so have over 9000L of flow no dead spots that I can see.
Have been spot treating with Excell to the point I'm adding 50ml a time daily with spot treating maybe I can up how much im dosing?
Getting great growth of plants just when you get up close you can see this ghastly staghorn algae.
Any more ideas on how to deal with it was thinking of putting tank into a 3 day black out.
I have been struggling to keep nitrates up I'm constantly between 0 and 5 ppm cant physically get it any higher even feeding fish heavier maybe an out of balance issue ?
This how it looks as you can see looks healthy enough just that ghastly staghorn
Anyone have anymore ideas or suggestions
