Here's what I discovered...
1. My light was definately shot... The new bulb was an immediate improvement in the quality of light.. It was also nice to see my plants "pearling" once again with two hours of the new bulb being installed. Lesson learned, 11 month replacement cycle for PC bulbs! 2. When I refilled my CO2 tank 3 weeks ago, I NEVER TURNED IT ON!!! Ugh... So between my light spectrum issues, and the fact that I haven't have pressured CO2 in almost a month, probably has led to the massive imbalance within my tank... I'm willing to bet it returns to "normal" within a week or two now! Troy "blank" wrote in message ... You might try buying a timer so your lights can go off for a few hours during the day. This helps stop algae from growing. So I was told in the newsgroups and lo and behold, it works. The algae in my tank is nearly gone---it has taken about six weeks, but the difference is amazing. "Troy Bruder" wrote in message ... I have significantly reduced feedings... My current light (10k pc) is almost 12 months old... I figured it would last 18 months, but maybe that's it. Thanks for the heads up.. Until I replace it, maybe I'll try massive water changes every other day.. Troy "Limnophile" wrote in message ... Have you tried reducing feedings? Or changing the lighting? "Troy Bruder" wrote in message ... Anyone got any good remedies for black slime algae covering everything in my tank?? I keep cleaning it out, and doing massive water changes, but it still keeps growing!! Arrrgghh! Heavily planted tank CO2 injection ph 6.8 |
