BAD noodles! BAD!! >.<

So I woke up this morning, turned on the light of my little 25L tank and OMFG my MC carpet is lifting!! How does that happen? What the actual hell!

And then I peek underneath it.... BAD. NOODLEZ.

Haha, it took me a minute to find him, crafty fella

That's some lovely MC growth though

Thank you! It took quite a while as my nitrates were always at 0 to verrrrry low. I added more fish and root tabs and BAM, it went MAD!
I am wondering how the devil I'm going to get it back down though... I mean the noodles are cool and all, but I do not approve of this naughtiness.

Do you use CO2? I really like the monte carlo but avoided it as I don't use C02.

I think Noodle will just keep doing it. Try put it back and see.

Nope, no C02, just Fluval Stratum, high-ish light (good old cheapy white LEDs) and nitrates that are around 20-40ish. I've started some off in my 200L tank on Stratum and cheap LED's and it's going really well in there, and nitrates are around 15ish.
I've started dosing with Liverpool Creek Aquariums ferts BUT the MC carpet was going nuts well before I started the ferts.

OH! I also use Scott's Osmocote Water Gardens & Aquatic Plants Tabs. I'm in Aus so getting root tabs is hard and bloody $$$ so I gave these a go. They're like $7 AUD for 50. Awesome.
