So in the recent weeks i’ve been battling bba and staghorn. I’ve realised that with a high tech system i was only dosing 5ml of specialised nutrition and i needed to be dosing 10ml instead. With a small fish load i’ve also realised that i needed to add some more nitrogen into the tank, which was introduced with the added 5ml dose of fertiliser. I’ve increased my co2 levels, which has stopped the bba growth, and the added nitrogen has stopped the staghorn growth.
I’ve got a d-d p1 doser on the way, which will hopefully make my life much more easier, so i also don’t forget to dose the tank when i’m working. I’ve also ordered a co2 art inline diffuser, as i think it will be much better to distribute the co2 into the water. I’ve got more plants on the way to replace the ones i’ve lost through alage, and i will be adding blyxa japonica in the background to create a bushy look on the right hand side.
I’ll update the forum when i’ve got my delivery this weekend.
