I am dosing PPS-Pro on both my tanks now, the 10 gallon and my 29 gallon. The plants are growing like wildfire and my Kribs have recently spawned, however, I keep seeing BGA now in both tanks. I try to pick it off the subtrate when I see it and I've been doing frequent water changes (in the early evening and dosing extra KNO3) and it seems to help for a few days but then it comes back again. I also have GSA and GDA, the green dust algea was there before but not as much green spot algea. I'm told that this will pass, I'm just concerned about the Cyano.

I will be moving a week from Saturday, my plan is to remove as much water as I possibly can, maybe all of it and just cover the tank with plastic to keep in the moisture. I will transport my fish in plastic bags and put them in a bucket. Hopefully once I'm established, the GDA & GSA will eventually disapear. I will keep doing water changes, adding extra KNO3 and disturbing the BGA and hopefully that too will disapear.

All and all, I am pleased with the plant growth and the easiness of PPS-Pro.
