BBA eater for planted tanks!

[benny]

Hi guys,

For those of you who missed them during the last shipment. Gan's have them again. However, they run out pretty quickly so better to call before you go down.

Cheers,

Seems to be the case. That's probably the reason they keep running out of stock.

Try nutrient control as well.

Try getting your CO2 in good shape and maiontaining 20-30ppm for the entire time the lights are on.

Next, get some scissors and prune off all that BBA!

Do a water change thereafter and add nuttrients back into the tank, dose KNO3/KH2PO4/traces 2x a week at least, maybe 3 if things look good/plant biomass is high.

You keep the CO2 up all day long, you will not have the BBA start growing again. It might stay there, not die etc, but it will not grow well if you have proper CO2.

I have not SAE's for 7 years, I have not had BBA for 12.

95-99% of BBA issues are traced to variable or not enough CO2.

The Germans and Dutch noted this some years back as well independent of what I found but they did not come out and say it as a matter of fact, "do this".

Hi guys,

Some of you have been looking for the famed BBA eater Anostomus ternetzi which have disappeared from the market for quite sometime already.

Hi Bros,

If tank w/o BBA, what will this fish (Anostomus ternetzi) eat? Is it true that our Algae eater crews will start eating the plants if there is not enough algae to feed them?????

BTW, why is it some yamato are less hardy, is it due to cold water temp?

Cheers
