Hi guys just looking for some advice for removing the algae from my tank. I've been reading around the forums the last few months and I've managed to improve my tank slightly but just can't seem to get rid of it all. I have BBA covering filter pipes, power heads and dotted around the glass and growing on the substrate, a bit of hair algae on my plants and I'm getting green dust algae covering my glass for the second time in 5 weeks! I've recently made a lot of changes to my tank which made my algae unmanageable (I've always had some). I swapped my co2 inline diffuser for the Sera co2 reactor 1000 connected to my filter which reduced my flow rate a bit but I have 2 power heads (900 and 1000 lph) running alongside my spray bar. Would I be better off getting a separate small filter for running my co2 reactor to up my flow again? I've also changed my lights from 2 T8s to 2 HOT5s is that too much light? I started double dosing easylife easycarbo for the past 10 days as well. And I haven't had time to check my pH levels all day yet but i checked every 30 mins between 2 and 5 and it was a steady 6.2 then at 10pm it was 7.1 hoping to get a full day off soon to to it properly. Is my best option to reduce lighting even more or try to up co2/circulation? All my plants have a light sway to them from the water flow. I'm wanting to remove my plants for a re scape but I dont want to buy anymore till the algae is sorted or do you think it would be easier to remove everything and give my tank a big clean then stock it full of algae free healthy plants? Any and all help is really appreciated as you must be sick of these questions. Thanks
