Maybe try to turn off a bulb.
I have a 29g setup, I added a pressurized CO2 system. It's high reliable, needs no maintenance, and is set on a timer.
The only maintenance is when the cylinder is empty.
A good tricks I found to kill BBA, is:
1. Turn off any filtration / things that make flow.
2. Take a seringe and apply excel on the BBA.
3. Wait 15 mins
4. Apply 3% or 6% peroxyde on the BBAs
5. Wait 15 mins, you should see a lot of bubbles.
6. Turn back any equipement you turned off.
Wait 2-3 days, you will notice the BBA turn light pink or red, it means they're dying. Repeat this for every infestation.
Thank you for the info. I will have to try this. By peroxide, do you mean hydrogen peroxide, like the stuff I would use to disinfect cuts and whatnot? And how much peroxide should I use? Will my fish be okay?
