My CO2 cylinder has about a week left and I’m considering switching to a low tech aquarium and letting the CO2 run out due to constant issues with BBA and GSA.
I have spent hours going through posts and online articles but I can’t seems to figure out what the imbalance is in my tank.
Any advice for this change is appreciated. Should I allow it to go cold turkey or a gradual stop? I understand that it might not cure my BBA issues but I suspect low CO2 and stocking (especially large greedy fish) might be a cause…

- Roma 240 with 307 external and spray bar. U4 internal.
- 60-70% water change p/w in evening
- CO2 art dual stage with bazooka diffuser - DC is green. I’m a bit reluctant to increase this more because a a few species of fish req high oxygenated water and worried about gassing them.
- Circulation/flow is 6x vol but can’t really increase with power heads to avoid stressing out some of my fish
- Light is Fluval plant 3.0 - 6 hour photoperiod max 50% with a ramp up/down (lowering intensity/duration has made BBA worse I think…)
- EI dosing using APF(UK) macro/micro alternate days
