Aquarium Advice Freak
Hey Guys! Haven't been here in a long, long time! Been busy farming algea, LOL Seriously, I got sort of totally discouraged
with the brown algea (you can see some on the driftwood). This stuff covers everything, plants, pipes, etc.
This is my tank at 22 months... I had gone back to low-tech for a period, 60w lights, no CO2, etc. to no avail. So I am gradually going back high-tech again, 444W, CO2, and see what happens.
At least, I have got to try different plants. Some do better than other in my tank, some immediately get covered with this algea while others seem to repel it. So the bad ones I just pull out!
My question is: at this point, does it make sense to re-start this tank completely? and when you have only one tank, how do you go about it?
Would it eliminate the algea problem? probably not, right? I find my "aquascaping" kinda boring... I think a "hill" on the right side would look much better,
but if I attempt something like this, oh what a mess it will be!
Anyways, good to be back here, any comments welcome!
