I love my scarle badis, but I'm almost positive the betta would bully them.

Gboy66 said:Would that help the algae much?
George9 said:I think it would. Is the algae on the glass?
Gboy66 said:Glass, leaves, and wood. Not alot obviously, but i want to catch this early! My last planted tank suffered to crazy algae, and this has too change. The berites are eating it, but slow, and ill be giving 2 away soon
Coursair said:Also frequent PWCs. Keep Nitrates down will help also. Plus more plants will compete with the algae. Excel will help also.
Gboy66 said:Ok, im doing pwc's every weekend, and really beed to purchase excel!
Austinb (bless him!!) is shipping me some plants today or this weekend, so the tank should get filled in soon. The reason i didnt want to get plants at the start is because i didnt want them to be infested with algae!! I want to solve this problem first!
MABJ said:Well I'd even like a steady supply of algae for those nerites.

CorallineAlgae said:That's your next weapon against algae. Lots of plants will be a bug help. That, your snails and good old fashioned time.
Gboy66 said:I will be trying to set up diy co2 today. Will the plants really help that much?
Do you know anything about co2 diy coralline?
MABJ said:Co2 is only necessary for those with very high lights. Yours doesn't need it.
I was just saying for myself, I'd enjoy a bit of algae.
Get plants in there and keep your nerites. Soon enough there will be very little algae
Gboy66 said:Wait i thought we were recommending co2 before?? Haha ok, im still going to try.
Plants might be rotala indica, tiawan moss, crypts! Also, maybe some ramshorn snails!
I guess i will keep the nerites till algae is gone? There is alot left.
George9 said:Ah, I love rotala indica!
The tanks gonna look great
