For past few mths. I been reading and reading all forum abt remove of my hair algue. From PH to KH. Buying more then 1000 Shrimps and 4 OTO fish. throw in algue remover (liquid). remove by hand one by one. damm to tired. what next??

If no one had answer. Then my last move: pull out all my damm plant. Make me spent alot.

Tank: L 5ft, W 1ft, H 2ft
Last setting : PH 6.5 , KH :forgotten

i think u will surprise where to get 1000 shrimps.
I went to my cousin kampong(malaysia). Near by there , there is a family selling shrimps only. dry or life. 1 shrimp = S$0.04 ( min 1000 shrimps) i bought 1500 and end up abt 400 dead in my car during travel back SG. Abt 100 dead for past few mths. If u all wanna buy mix shrimps cannot choose . PM me, i maybe going back chinese new year.

The focus shouldn't be on killing the algae here which you seem all too engulf into. Its growing the plants well that is the biggest issue now. A tank with healthy growing plants does not have much issues with algae. Work on the plant growth and kill off the algae with a 3-5 day blackout. Get a good handle on the CO2 first if you are using it. Work on it such that you get 25-30~35ppm throughout the entire photoperiod all the way and not just at the start of the week. Circulation is a big issue with such a big tank so work on it as well. Get additional powerheads and spraybar to get good lower and mid water level circulation going. Nutrients are fairly easy once the CO2 is well taken care of. Readup on the estimative index method on the nutrients dosing. Don't give up...keep working on it. Main focus is on plant growth.

The relationship between pH and kH is important. It is not about bubble per second. It is all about ppm CO2 level in the water..In example, your bubble counter and needle valve can be faulty. You can never be too sure....
