4.) 1 PLECO (It's White, that's all I know)
5.) SYRINGE BLASTING!
5A.) AZOO ANTI ALGAE
5B.) EXCEL
6.) Brought down the photoperiod, you are doing 5 hours. I would not even know if 3 hours is advisable - What does everyone think?
7.) Oh and I chucked in plants like crazy
Thanks for sharing of the above, will likely to avoid GAE as it may creat problem once the discus grown up.
Think I will just cut down the left hand side MH to 3 hrs and off the right hand MH (directly above the bog wood infested with hair algae) for a week and observed. What do you think?
A bit worry to meddle things around now coz I will be away for a whole week (actually 9 days) starting tomorrow, too many changes and if things go wrong I will not be there to rectify it... Sigh...
