  • Still struggling to get this tank back on track. I'm trying a 3 day blackout to fight the green fuzz algae that took over the aquarium. Never tried a blackout before so not sure what to expect. I really hope I can keep this aquarium going and don't have to rescape it just yet.

    Very nice share my friend

    I think your plan with the new stems is going to be the thing that works - I'd even try and add some super fast growing ones like Limnophilla Sessilora or a Moneywort species just to really starve off the algae.

      I'll take that advice and add some more fast growing stems, even if it's just temporarily. Thank you!

      I'm happy to hear the plants have recovered, careful with the co2... the fish might not enjoy too much of it 😅

    Have you tried high dosing Phosphate and Potassium? That helped mea fair bit in the past.

      I didn't... and at this point, I'm open to trying anything, so I'll give it a go. Thank you 👍
