All vals at my lfs at 3 for 2.99. I have a few jungles and they grow like weeds and regular Val's as well. I kid you not, the other day I trimmed a piece off one of the jungles that was about 4ft long.

In English though.... What is bba? I scraped it with my nail and it is hard.
Also I'm running a dual lamp solarmax ho fixture on my 55g. One flora bulb and the other color max. Can I wiggle by without co2

BBA is black beard algae. It is this dreadful looking aflame that is like seriously black. I believe it is caused by the lack of co2? Don't quote me on it though.
WOOZERS. are you using co2 at all?
skywhitney said:It sounds like it might be GSA (Green Spot Algea). It is next to impossible to get off (I have it on the glass of my tank).

It's just the initial crash. It's really easy to keep it stable once it reaches where it wants. I've never ha a problem with my fish because of ph and my ph stays at 6.4 in the day at 6.2-6.4 at night.bigbanker said:Ooooo not bad! The tank is 55g but ph crashes scare me.
Also, trim the jungle val or let it melt. I've got a pretty heavy bioload right now.
More plants are on the way
How can I tell the difference?
