Hi, in my Sunday Scape journal it has been suggested that very high co2 injection could inhibit plant growth and encourage algae because it may have a detrimental effect of the tank's benefical bacteria due to creating very low ph.
Wondered whether there were any more thpughts on this?
For info its a 15l tank. Drop checker is yellow verging on clear. Water is very soft, TDS 30ish. Remineralised with pinch of TNC GH Boost and adding 1ml TNC Complete 1ml to take TDS to about 120ish. Wc is 50% daily at moment. I dont have any means of measuring ph right now.
I'm having persistent problems with soft green smothering thread like algae plus a bit of BBA and staghorn here and there.
Tank has no livestock.
Any insights?
