I have BGA in my 29 gallon planted tank, wasn't sure at first but the smell made me very suspicious and then I could see little pieces here and there, which confirmed. I've been doing water changes and stopped adding ferts for the time being. I believe it happened due to my increase of KNO3, last time I tested, it was at 40!
I do not want to add Marcyn if possible and may try doing a 3-4 day black out, now would I disconnect the pressurized CO2 while tank is in a black out or should I leave it going?
I am going on vacation for a week beginning next Saturday and if I don't do this before I leave, I will most likely come back to a tank smothered in Cyano. Have I mentioned how much I hate this stuff? Even though it's not really too bad YET, it's destroyed a couple of my plants, with stem completing melting turing black and melting away.
Thoughts on the CO2 being left on or turned off are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
