help with high light/high co2 tank out of balance = greenwater :( help
Thanks for the reply Tony.
I thought I set the tank up properly for no algae problems I heavily planted the whole bottom with fast growin stem species from my previous planted tank and they are growing like crazy. I have pressurised CO2 keeping the levels high and high light. On others reccomendations I was not going to dose any nutrients till week 3 or 4 but the greenwater still happened. I have no fishload in the tank at all at the moment and have been trying Dominics methods but its just getting greener.. currently in the process of dumping 3/4 of the water Cheers Jon Well you just solved your problem. Fast growing plants, no fish, high light, high CO2. I'll bet if you think about it your plant growth has slowed down a lot in the past few days. You need to start feeding the plant so they can out grow the algae. Semper Fi! Visit the forums at Aqua Botanic! http://aquabotanicwetthumb.infopop.cc/#1 Need Nitrate or Potassium for your tank?

Sure a UV will work. But you are treating the symptom and not the
problem. Agreed. If you don't fix the underlying problem, you'll just be trading one kind of algae for another. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |

Hi thanks for the imput guys.
Any suggestions of what I should do ? I have all the PMDD ingredients as well as Flourish and Flourish Iron. I have taken out 1 of the 30w bulbs so now i have 150w / 50gal and have been dosing with 1/2 tsp of KNo3 and 2ml of Flourish every other day. Also once a week 1 tsp of mgs04, some k2so4. The greenwater is so dense i can hardly see 10cm into my tank but the plants seem ok. Cheers Jon "Rex Grigg" wrote in message ... On Thu, 27 Mar 2003 22:02:25 -0800, "DWS" wrote: Sure a UV will work.

Added the steralizer... ran it for 3 days, did a 3/4 water change and im back to crystal clear water... plants are pearling more since the light can get to them now.. Dustin Semper Fi!
