Ok guys, figure this one out. Ever since I set up my 50w LED array, algae is like not even growing, and if it is my otos and BN are eating before its getting established. It hasn't stopped the BBA (pain in the neck stuff) but green spot is like none existant. I even took my scrubber to the glass to see if any of the whiteish stuff might be growing, nope.

This would be great.... if I didn't have otos. I havn't really noticed the otos go after veggies that I put in there so I'm a little concerned here.

anyone got any ideas as to WHY? Oh, and how the heck do I stop BBA? its only growing on wood and not the plants, once peice I can't remove but both have plants attached, ideas on removing it?
 
wont excel melt vals ?
