| Sep 5, 2016 at 15:32 | comment | added | Diether | I while ago I started adding phosphate and nitrate (following the redfield ratio) in my tank and I indeed had less algea after a couple of weeks. I did this in combination with a daily dose of 'Easilife Profito' (adding a little more then advised on the bottle, because I also have quit a lot of plants + Co2). I now just started with the EI method to see if this is even better (and stop with the daily dose of profito then). | |
| Sep 2, 2016 at 22:40 | comment | added | The Nightman | @Diether I have enough CO2 injected to keep the pH at about 6.8 and yeah while I do dose with flourish I have yet to try dosing with phosphorus as well, which I have heard can help. Maybe I could try that. | |
| Sep 2, 2016 at 15:58 | comment | added | Diether | How much Co2 do you have? Keep in mind that if you add Co2, you also have to add more fertilizer for your plants too. Usually algae grow, because your plants lack 1 or more types of nutritients. Ferlizing plans like the Redfield Ratio (buddendo.home.xs4all.nl/aquarium/redfield_eng.htm) Or the EI method (aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/fertilizing/… ) could help with this kind of problems. | |

| Sep 1, 2016 at 13:16 | comment | added | The Nightman | @Rémi no sunlight exposure just a finnex light. | |

| Sep 1, 2016 at 2:45 | comment | added | The Nightman | @Rémi Yeah the plants grow well, but I monitor the water weekly and have tried weekly substantial water changes. And still nothing works. | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 1:03 | comment | added | Rémi | Do your plants grow well? If so I suspect an excess of fertilizer. If not, too few nutrient. | |
