Yeah, so I got a bit lazy (more like lost interest altogether) and didn't keep up with my maintenance. And ohhh how I have been punished for my sins.
Because I had my co2 off for months, lights on for 10hrs, zero nutrient dosing and zero water changes, my tank is more of an algae garden than a beautiful one.
Mind you, surprisingly none of my plants have shown any yellow leaves or death. It's just extreme stuned growth.
Either being out of the hobby for so long I'm kinda lost on what to do again to combat the algae.
I know running my co2 again, doing water changes and managing my lights properly could jump start things again. But what else should I do.
I still have a life time supply of Excel and h202(kinda don't want to use this).
My plants list right now is:
Dwarf baby tears
Monte Carlo
Flame moss
Dwarf hairgrass
Some dwarf pennywort species (they look more like mini mushrooms than cloverleaf)
That's pretty much it.
The algae I'm dealing with is the usual.
Green spot (not alot)
Staghorn
Bba
Green fuzz
So guys, it would be wonderful if you could reteach me the steps I should take to putting my tank back in balance and hopefully reducing the algae in my tank.
