Hello, I posted an algae and water parameter post about a month ago and I cut back my light from 10 hrs to 7 hrs a day.
My Ammonia reads 0ppm Nitrite 0ppm and Nitrates are at 5 ppm, Phosphates .25. It's a 55 gallon, I have 2 6700k bulbs and one 120000k T5 HO bulb. I used to have green spot algae but that went away once I cut back on the lighting and started dosing Phosphorus, Potassium, and Kent Pro Plant 3x a week. I have 2 DIY CO2 with a diffuser that puts out a lot of bubbles.
I JUST did a 50% water change yesterday and the blue green algae is already taking over the tank. I try my best to get it out with the water changes! What can I do to get rid of it?
