Long stringy green stuff...diatoms!! hc dying, dwarf hairgrass is recovering.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Hair algae aye, that's fun stuff to get rid of.

 

[Alm0stAwesome]

liquid carbon worked for me, spot application and it was gone in a week.

 

[Jay1983]

Will do huge water change tomorrow and bang it with easycarbo!! have that Algae!!

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Good choice if you know what the cause was then why not.

 

[Jay1983]

cause has been weeks of neglect due to other commitments, now need to get it all back on track

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Wont take ya long mate, your a good scaper so I'm sure you'll handle a little algae.

 

[Jay1983]

its more than a little, more like an epidemic!!! but yes will get there 1 way or another..... got the hardscape how I want it, just need get the co2, ferts and light in balance!

 

[Jay1983]

Have completely re-planted this tank as the algae was mad in there, hopefully the large amount of plants that are now in there will help combat and stop the algae developing... have also upped the CO2 intake. Will try get some pictures on tomorrow

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Sounds good mate, look forward to it.

 

[Jay1983]

A couple of pics of re-plant, will list plants used later.

 

[Jay1983]

[Ps3Steveo]

Will be good to see how the UG gets on mate.

 

[Jay1983]

Yes wanted some before but it was out of stock, it was very expensive so better work!! need get a fire ex going as these small canisters are poor. Not sure if my reg is working properly either!

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Oh not good, well hope you sort it dude, yeah UG is expensive, find a company that refills fire extinguishers and they'll have a load of out of date 2nd hand ones that they usually sell for £20.
