Hello everyone,
Ok so I just returned home after three weeks out of town only to find that my 16g bow-front has been completely overrun by BGA, it is so severe I couldn't even see into tank to check on fish initially, and when I finally could it was even worse, plants and equipment were completely incased in the junk. This tank had a minor bout previously with BGA but I thought I was rid of it please help me understand what I am doing wrong or need to do differently, for the sake of accuracy I am posting the tank info as I found it upon arrival.
16g High tech Co2 planted with fish
Ammonia 0.0, nitrates 0.0, nitrites 0.0, phosphates 0.0, KH 11, GH 12, ph 7.0 according to ph probe/monitor and Milwaukee 600 tester, temp 73
Lights come on at 9am off at 5pm. BML Dutch planted 6300k
When home I dose 1.5ml flourish excel daily as well as 1.5ml micros/macros (pps-pro fert system).
Filtration - Aqueon quite flow 10 HoB and SunSun HW 602b mini canister filter
5 neon tetras, 2 Corys
Tank is carpeted in HC Cuba, and Java moss attached to stone and wood
Thanks for taking the time to help out
