In my 75 gallon tank I have been battling BBA for a while now. I have decided to try killing it of using Flourish Exell on a 2 week dosing schedule. I am just not sure how many ml's per day to dose. Has anyone tried this method before? How many ml's for a 75 gallon tank?
how heavily planted is your tank? you can dose more excel if your tank has more plants.
like coach-z said. turn off your filters so that there is no circulation around your tank. and then use the syringe and very gently apply it to the affected areas. if you look you can see it come out and dissapate in the water. that high concentration of excel that sits around the bba for a couple minutes just overdoses that area untill it dissapates or you turn your filter back on and circulate it around the tank.
you can use h2o2 but your plants will use the excel, not h2o2. and the overall goal is plant health with minimal algae, right?
That looks just like the problem I'm having, only yours isn't as bad as mine is yet.
Excel dosed regularly did NOTHING to help mine. And I don't like over dosing stuff. Dipping mine in h2o2 worked ok, but I can't be taking large pieces of driftwood with java ferns tied to them out of my tank weekly and dipping them. Just don' t have time
