Hello. I'm fighting several types of algae.
Here's my setup
55g neons x10, cardinals x11, clown pleco X1,Oto x1, rcs, amano
Staurogyne Rapens, cryptocoryne undulata, Amazon sword, dwarf hairgrass, dwarf baby tears
36" current USA led+
8 hr Photoperiod
Pressurized Co2
Dose 10mL /day Excel + direct attack on bba with excel in a pipette
I recently moved my tank and also ran out of co2 and didn't notice for a week or so because the drop checker was still in the green/yellow and bubbles were coming out. This was about 10 weeks ago.
I have since been fighting with a ton of algae. Several types:
Amm 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 5
Ph 6.6
Kh 2.5
I've been gravel cleaning and water changing once per week thinking there are extra phosphates in the gravel, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I also did a blackout for 3 days- didn't seem to weaken it at all. I've been removing dying leaves and trimming unhealthy plants. Just not sure what to do from here. Any thoughts?
