I recently bought an RO filter for my planted tank, and now use the following kent products exclusively.
RO right
freshwater essential
freshwater plant
The tank uses high tech c02, at 15ppm, kH is kept at 5dkh to obtain a neutral ph.
Currently, I replace 5 gallons of this 37g tank with this fresh water on a weekly basis.
I am currently battling green hair algae, and also a dirty looking algae which grows mostly on the plants near the gravel.
Both forms of this algae are growing relatively slowly.
I noticed my phosphate level was 0, so have switched over to a flake food which contains '.25-1.0' phosphorous.
Am I on the right track ?
What should I do in addition to the above, in order to beat this algae growth ?
