Got Algae

[Phyroath]

Hi everyone,

I got BBA if I am not mistaken. Mostly the tip of my sword, hygro aug & ludwidgia whenever they reach the surface- do I put the light too close to the surface?

Can you give us more info?

Tank size, lighting, CO2, ferts...

I've found BBA to be an indicator of swings in CO2.

Hi Jpappy, I got 156w over 65g (T5HO) - Pressurized CO2 with reactor however I put back DIY last two weeks as I do not have time to refill. As my tank is longer than the fixture, I removed the leg and put the light quite close 2.5" from the surface.
