I am putting this in the planted forum because my questions involve plant related issues.
Thanks to Rivercats I have the know how to get rid of what I have recently learned to be black beard algae. I have read a lot of negative stories about using hydrogen peroxide though so I am using it very carefully. I have read that siamese algae eaters will help go off on this type of algae. My question is exactly how much liquid carbon i.e. api co2 booster is maximum safe dosage and when is the best time to dose i.e. right after the lights go out or morning hours before lights come on?
I have rcs and loaches so I have learned I need to be very careful with liquid carbon dosing and hydrogen peroxide, so with that being said, given my stock listed below, can I also have some siamese algae eaters? I mean would my loaches and otocinclus be ok with them?
10 neon tetras
4 guppies
4 otocinclus
3 red wag platies
3 angelicus botia loaches
1 dwarf gourami
I also have many rcs, but i have lots of java moss and other plants and driftwood for them to hide. My loaches go right up to them and almost looks as if they sniff the rcs and keep going so no problems for my shrimp from my loaches so far.
so, can i get some siamese algae eaters? 60 gallon tank 48"x13"x24". ac110, ac70 both filled with purigen. tank is planted with driftwood.
