I'm currently dealing with some type of algea in my 10 gallon, this it's due to lack of CO2 and new high lights I just added.
Planted tanks need 3 essential ingredients, light, CO2 and fertilzers. Depending on how much light you have over the tank will determine whether or not you need to inject CO2, or where it's such a small tank (5 gallons), you could get by with Seachem Excel if the lights not too high. It will also determine how much ferts you need to dose. |
Thanks for the reply.
I'm running a DIY CO2 plus 11watts of light.
A couple of weeks back I was having abit of this problem and I thought it might be overdosage of Forropol. So I have stopped adding that in my tank for about 2 weeks. I'm not dosing any other ferts fyi.
