Weren't you always? :)

Thanks, dun.. I'll try that config!

Hmm.. See, that's precisely what's been reccomended to me on the other forums such as APC and the Barr Report, to ADD nutrients in the form of an EI dosing regime, and that's what I've started to do, as well as up my CO2 injection. No mention of cutting back on light.. My other plants have...

That bad, eh? :( So an Excel bath wouldn't help?

I'll try the Excel first, then the bleach.. Thanks for the feedback.. I'll let you know what works (knock on wood). Here's some pics so you can decide if it's staghorn. Both pics are of the anubias. One's just with the flash on..

One way to find out, I guess.. :)

As promised, here's some recent shots of the staghorn plague.. Not pretty.. :(

Yeah? Interesting.. Might be cyanobacteria, then.. I had the same algae starting up, but manual removal and waving my hand over the bits that popped up and after a while it went away.. Will do..

I hadn't dosed it with Excel yet.. Have to wait till I get some.. Not as long as it's below 45ppm, same as for all tropical fish.. Depends on your lfs.. :)

I have 2 yo-yos, and I heard they don't mix well with shrimp, so trying this.. The staghorn has gotten 1000x worse since that photo I put in the initial post.. I'll put up a recent one tomorrow.. :)

I think I'm going to remove the anubias totally from the tank (relatively simple, as I just attached them individually to flat rocks..) and OD it with Excel, so I don't have to worry about the riccia I have in there, and can make sure the anubias are getting both barrels.. How much should I...

Looks like staghorn algae.. If I were to take out the barteri and treat it with Excel, how much should I dilute the Excel?

Huh.. Ok, I'll see if that happens..

Yeah? Calcium build-up? How would you clean it, without worrying about killing fish with remaining traces of bleach, or whatever?

What about the Lamotte test kit for CO2?
