I have a plague of BBA in my 10G heavily planted tank. My whole tank has the horrible algea. I heard spot dosing with excel can get rid of it. Since my whole tank has BBA, can I just treat the whole tank? I'll include my tank specs and stocking info below. Thanks!!!!
Lighting-
2- 20W CFL bulbs
Ferts-
CO2 (bubble per 2 seconds)
Filter-
Aquaclear 50 (carbon, sponge, and ceramic bio balls)
Stocking-
5 chili rasboras
25~ RCS
2 microcrabs
2 otto's
1 nerite snail
Would the excel affect my shrimp or other inverts? I will start off slow because I know some crypts will melt with excel. Should I post a list of my plants? I don't think my plants are harmed by the algea because all my plants pearl like crazy every day. Are there any tips to get rid of BBA, or a way to keep it from coming back? Thanks for the help!
