At Wits End With Algae

[mrapoc]

alright

i blacked out

started adding excel

bought a load of plants and planted

made sure lighting was around 10 hours a day

boosted excel up from 2.5ml to about 4ml as plants are growing fast


...

BGA is started to creep back by the looks of it

any ideas?

I was told to use eurethromyacin I think. I do know that it was an antibacterial (antibiotic) medication and it worked...
It could be worth a try... You have done everything else.

If you are still having problems it is clear you are not fixing the cause of the problem. In which case the algae will keep coming back. This algae is linked to low CO2. At the very least you should use 2x diy CO2. Ideally pressurised.
