And the odd thing
is plants sucking up so much CO2 that even I increased the CO2 injection a lot, pH still stand at roughly 6.7 - 6.8. And the good news is that the thread algae's almost completely disappeared. This often happens and one reason why I suggest 20-30ppm rather than old standard of 15ppm. However, I have otherr worries... its hard to keep the growth rate like this, i.e. a lot of work. But I am afraid of that if I slowly reduce the growth rate, algae might just reappear, but that's another story. Anyway, it works. Cheers Kenneth That's easy enough, switch to slower growers like Cryopts for a certain % of the tank, or driftwood covered with those slower growing plants whuile still retaining a few fast growers. Also, less light = less growth when you have good supplies of CO2/nutrients. Regards, Tom Barr |
