gintonick Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Been having this hard algae issue for the past month+. Started from the elocharis mini n now seems monte carlo is getting loaded with BBA. Most of the algae looks like BBA n GBA or possible Green Fuzz Algae (Oedogonium). Did Excel spot treatment that causing it turning blue, red and greying on the mini hairgrass n hardscapes. But if spot treat on MC, it will cause the patch of MC to melt. S.repens also starting to have yellowing leaves n melt/wilt ... yellow leaves having similar algae n BBA. I don't dose any liquid ferts. Juz occasional Seachem Potassium n Iron. Lately did 50% water change after returning from my 1week+ trip and realize it was a bad idea as a few shrimps died. Shud be the sudden shift of parameters. Help and advice needed ... comments?
