    Staghorn Algae causes other than CO2?

    Hello all, I've set up my tank around 3 months ago. I got away with little to no algae but the last few weeks I'm struggling a bit with staghorn. I think co2 is not a problem. Lime green to yellow and circular flow. Could it be lack of nutrients? I only dose 4ml of TNC complete per day and...

    Is 200+ PAR causing problem?

    Despite doing just about everything that i've read to address this, i'm persistently getting staghorn algae and some GBA. The staghorn is mainly affecting Juncus Repens, and to a lesser extent the Weeping Moss. It is not touching the Rotala or Hydocolyte or Crypts. Trying to pick it off with...
