Aquarium Advice FINatic
Good morning all,
It has been a while since I have posted.
For the past 18 months I have had issues with BBA. To the point of where every single day I have to pick out substrate infected with it to boil it to kill it to keep the BBA from getting out of hand. I also have to pick off leaves. I am getting tired of doing this and it really has drained all of the fun out of my aquariums.
The last two months I thought that maybe my plants needed more fertilizer to be able to outgrow the BBA and take away it's food source. To be honest, before, the plants were not growing much before and the BBA was really winning the battle.
Before I was using GLA's PPS-Pro fertilizers, and CO-2 injection. Now I use that, plus Seachem Excel, Seachem Potassium, and Seachem Iron.
My question to you all: Do I need at add another fertilizer to the bank to give my plants a better shot at outcompeting the BBA? Strangely my shrimp tank has zero issues. I am desperately trying to get my planted tank back to where it was. Thank you.
Andrew
