ID on algea

Janee, ek was van plan om oor 2 maande te probeer vir totm . Okey , die vacuum gaan sukkel want als is toe geplant , ek sal van more af die ligte afskakel en begin verwyder . Ek het wel nou agter gekom die HM het die vloei agter in die tenk geblok , ek het dit getrim om vloei deur te laat , weet nie as dit dalk iets te doen het met dit nie maar ek glo dit sou wel moeilikheid veroorsaak het. Ek het die HM reeds laat hoog groei maar nie besef dit gaan so bos raak nie. Die ferts gebruik ek voglens die bottle van Desember af, so ferts lyk goed . Pla my al die heel dag .

 

@f-fish , i did shut down 2 tubes, so 2 tubes was still running, the staghorn kind of disappeared , but i just noticed my HM and colorata got a nock of too less light , so switched it on. Now i remembered someone mentioned the SAE , isnt the Flying Fox also suppose to get rid of this? And if not will the Fox get along if i can find a SAE , cause i had 2 flying foxes , but this one was torturing the other so i had to move the 1 to another tank . The staghorn i can hardly find , but it wasnt that bad but i did notice . Any info ?

 

I would stay clear of a Flying Fox or that false SAE .... they all tend to be bullies and get lazy quickly as they age.

I believe its a flying fox, golden stripe , he is hard working, but not with the problem im having

 

Treat affected areas with hydrogen peroxide (h2o2), 1.5ml in 4 liters of water. Spray onto affected stuff, leave for 5 min and put into holding tank or your tank, repeat for a few days.

 

Hi , so just a update , I did forget about DSD NK-P . It was said any sign of algea I should switch from NPK to NK-P . So I dosed 1ml NK-P on Wednesday and Fryday . Seems to have made about an 80% disappearance of staghorn . And also upped the co2 a few weeks ago but didn't have an effect at all, only much more growth

 

Okey , so finaly , 100% staghorn free , im not sure whats the difference between NPK and NK-P , but dosing NK-P instead of NKP worked great for me :top:
