Perhaps I have had success has to do with my limited plant selection.
My lights are under 2 wpg and I finally bought only plants that
accept that condition. If those not getting a fix are using high

Hey, count yourself lucky. There are around 200 species of fresh water Red
Algae so you may not have the same stuff others have. If you have any doubt
about how nasty and tenacious this stuff can be, just do a search for BBA
ALGAE or look at the following link:

I was not lucky for 3 or 4 months. I did a lot of reading and
experimenting. I am grateful that my tank survived. I may not be
able to pin down the exact cure, but I do not I got rid of a nasty
problem. I am just doing my best to share. I don't need to read
another article to know that BBA is hard to get rid of. I lived the
problem long enough.
