I've posted pictures in my last thread "Algae ID" and I’m still waiting on a few tests kits, but in the mean time I thought I might try a 3 day blackout to try and rid my tank of this brown thread or hair algae. I’m out of town this weekend so I thought it might be a good time to try it out. My question is, how bad will my plants suffer?? I was running 10 hours of 2x54watt T5 HO, with another 2x54 watt T5 HO for 5 hours. But since this algae outbreak I’ve only been running 2x54 watts for 10 hours. I’ve been dosing via PPS Pro since the cycle ended, and started cutting that back just a little about a week ago. I’ve also been injecting CO2 since set up. If I wrap the tank, shut off the lights, stop the fertilizers, and stop the CO2 for three days, will the plants be okay when I get back?? Can I start right back up with lights, CO2, and ferts again after the three days??
Thanks everyone!
