Hi all, I have read and read about BBA and can't find anywhere that really helps with how to get rid of BBA without contradicting each other. Since moving, my 40g tank has got BBA and I am constantly picking it off but want to sort it out for good! My NO3 was 5ppm, PO4 0.5ppm, NH4 0ppm. I dosed...

I am currently struggling with a hair algae problem - my PO4 was 0.25 to 0.5 and nitrates 10-20 ish. I have been using Nutrition + liquid from tropica for at least 6 months with no probs until now. My plants are also looking yellow/light and have seemed to stop growing? Anybody have any...

I have a 40 gallon fairly heavily planted tank with some driftwood that is now about 5 months old, and I can't stay on top of a BGA/cyano problem :( , I did have other types of algae (hair/beard) but they seem to be going away to levels I don't mind since introducing rowaphos as the phosphate...
