Howdy:
First a little background again... 55g tank, high light (4x54w T5HO), presurized CO2. Dosing with the estimated index (every day with dry ferts) and then nothing with 50% change on the 7th day (Sundays).
So, I've almost always had a problem with BBA. I thought that going to using these dry ferts and keeping to a good schedule would help, but it isn't. Right now I have BBA growing on all my dwarf hair grass and some on an Amazon Fern. Mostly that is it but it is REALLY bad on the grass. I'm pretty much at a loss as to what to do now.
I've contemplated pulling up all the grass but that would really stink, pluss would be costly to replace. I was also thinking about going back to dosing with excell, but was hoping to avoid that. I'm at my wits end and told my wife I was just going to throw everything away and save for a salt tank but it really isn't going to happen... I'm just so upset and tired of dealing with this.
Any hints?
