Algae is not eating my lunch but its present in both tanks.
BBA is gone. As posted I got tired of looking at it and nuked the tank with syringes of excel in direct application. GSA is diminished also. GDA on the glass is whats here now in both tanks. Still dosing only trace mix daily. NO3 and PO4 are remaining constant in the levels tested. NO3 20ppm and PO4 1ppm.

Adjusted CO2 levels this last week pushing the drop checkers to a very pale yellow green. Based on Edwards Excel spread sheet formulas using KH and pH CO2 is 38-41ppm in both tanks.
Plants responded well pearling now looks like bubble streams in champagne 3 hrs. into full burn on the T5's (216w) My foreground crypts in the 75R have all the leaves standing straight up up like Viagra is in the tank. LOL
Chain swords are coming back after the excel burn with leaves sprouted to about 1" long.

Right now it looks like one WC per month with minor algae dosing trace only.

Anyone out there have the dosing recommendations for the Discus Solution listed in the spread sheets?

K2SO4 is the one element I don't/can't test for.
