I guess the areas of BBA I was able to scrape off had died, still a few spots hanging in there.
Tom, I just finished your article on BBA, It's a great read! I can see where I had low CO2 in my tank, with out a drop checker there was no way for me to know. When I started using the Neutral Regulator the inevitable happened.
EI + 30ppm Co2 + 5watts/gal light is like driving a high performance race car, one small mistake and things can go wrong very fast!
I noticed a new problem developing, thats blue green Cyanobacteria is in my 55 now. I read where this is caused my low NO3 which seems odd, unless the plants are starving the Cyanobacteria. I suspect it is mainly caused by to much light so I am cutting back once again. I also wonder if this has something to do with losing several Ottocinculus catfish.
What is this best treatment of Cyanobacteria?
A 3 day black-out may be my best bet, hate to do that just yet. I'm not sure how my Discus would take it.
Thanks
