Hello,
Tank specifications - 240l
Lighting - 2x54w T5 - 6 hours
CO2 - Pressurised FE, 5 bps - drop checker showing yellow all over the tank, on 2 hours before lights, off 1 hour before lights out.
Filtration - ext filter 1000l/h, full length spray bar distributing CO2 using 3000l/h powerhead
Fertilisation routine EI - (pretty sure im being more than generous with the ferts?)
1.5 teaspoons KNO3 + 1 teaspoon KH2PO4 + 1 Teaspoon traces - per day
Water changing 50% 2 times per week.
Im really struggling with this brown algae on all my plants. Growth is fairly good, everything pearls nicely, new shoots appearing everywhere. But after a couple of weeks everything that was perfectly healthy is completely covered in brown algae. It rubs off really easily and also appears on the glass and gravel in patches. The tank has been running 3-4 months and i've still not managed to overcome this 🙁
