Hello,
I struggled with BBA, CITA-Cyanobacteri, and diatoms all at once. I dunked this decoration in hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes as required to kill BBA and cyano spores. However, my Cyano was neon green, and my BBA was dark purple. Could it be leftover dead spores accumulating onto the tops of the plastic plants? This is temporary decoration, btw, as the fish I have enjoys to sit at the top, resting himself inside the plants.
