Thanks for all of your help and suggestions! I'm probably going to do a blackout before I start with my dosing regimen. It would be nice to get this under control so I can actually enjoy looking at the tank.

After battling various forms of algae, I finally purchased ferts from gregwatson.com. I bought KNO3, KH2PO4, K2SO4, and Plantex CSM+B. I bought them, however, not really being aware of how/when to dose. Right now my 10 gal looks like this: Here’s the set-up: 10 gal (up for 8 or 9 months)...

I have a 46gal tank with a case of BBA. I only have 30w fluorescent for lighting. I don't add anything except for dechlorinator after water changes, which I do 10-15% once weekly. pH: 7.4 NH3: 0ppm NO3: 0ppm Plants: Wisteria, aponogenton undulata (3), a huge amount of java moss, dwarf sag...

Right on. Thanks. I turned both of the filters on and it's starting to settle a bit.

I just emptied the water out of my 10g, removed the gravel, and added Eco-complete. I started to fill it and this is how it looks: Completely cloudy. Not normal, right? What do I do? I thought Eco-complete wasn't supposed to cloud. I take it I got a bad bag or something. I don't know...

Thanks for the advice. I ended up buying a package of 14w daylight CF bulbs. The difference is great. The tank will be even better when I get rid of the pink gravel. Right now it's serving as a plant repository until I get my 46 gal completely set up.

Would it be better or as effective to get two 10w mini CF screw-in bulbs? I have another fixture that would allow for that. I was hoping that would work, because then I could have more light.

I need a bulb for my 20" fluorescent fixture on my 10 gal. I was at Petsmart looking at the bulbs, and I wasn't sure if I should get the Flora-Glo 2 (2,800K) or Life-Glo 2 (6,700K). Which one should I get? Right now the tank only has wisteria and java moss, but I'm going to add a few more...
