algae back with a vengance

[Henry]

I notice you've put your CO2 equipment up for sale. Shame really, since a successful tank was only the removal of a bulb away.

Best of luck with your low tech ventures!

I recently dug out my tank and added soil to the substrate. This, teamed with CO2, EI ferts, and 1x24w T5, has elimnated algae and seen my plants thrive.
Surely its worth a try before you sell up. Nothing to lose 🙂

to be perfectly honest im sick of the sight of co2 for now .

You may feel differently in a day or two. Don't sell up in anger. Consider your options when you're less stressed by the matter.

i have given it considerable thought . i was going to put the gear up for sale yesterday , but decided to sleep on it and see how i felt today .

I think it's a wise decision. There's no harm in putting some soil on to help things along; it certainly won't have any negative effect anyway.
