A $5 timer from Wal-Mart and a split photo period would be a permanent solution. Easiest method? Wait for the plant to grow new leaves and cut off the old, algae covered ones. It'll grow back even stronger when the plant realizes that it's missing.Would H.Peroxide work on the GSA?
either spot treatment via syringe (in tank) or as a dip (in bucket)
I have done the 1/20 bleach water dip multiple times to kill snails when transferring plants and it took care of all the BSA on my Anubis species. Soak for 2 min, then transfer to water/vinegar solution. Do this a few times.Would H.Peroxide work on the GSA?

Ya i actually running a split photo period just to try and maximize Co2 uptake.A $5 timer from Wal-Mart and a split photo period would be a permanent solution. Easiest method?

Necessary bump. Those PAR values you linked for my Chihiros have completely altered my approach[emoji106]
