Re: The Transparent Tank Challenge
When you do a water change, dribble some Easycarb or Excel on the wood to kill any algae by doign say, a 50-70% water change.
Then dose the full amount labeled on the EasyCarb of Excel bottle for the next 2-3 weeks.
Even in non CO2 systems, Starougyne has grown pretty well for some folks.
But the CO2 needs to be stable. Good current also, regular frequent water changes will help, clean the filter often etc.
The algae on the wood and the silicone suggest you do smaller water changes, try 50-70%.
H2O2 also works if the cost or you do not have Excel/Easy carb around.
