[Staghorn/BBA algae and carbon additives to treat]

Ive been spot treating with hydrogen peroxide for about a week and have had no success (ill probably stop trying hydro because i have even uprooted my plants to dunk them in it and it didnt help). Ive noticed however with the excel when i started spot treating it about two days ago it has died back and my mystery snail army has taken it out. The staghorn has yet to die but has started to kinda detach from some of my leaves however im just hoping the snail army finds it aswell. Just placed an order for easy carbon and ferts.

and thank you for the advice!

[Carpeting plants for betta tank ?]

dwarf sag or dwarf chain swords work well with a little bit of ferts and liquid carbon. you could also buy a few mossball and "unroll" them and have them lay on the substrate

[20 gallon community Beginner planted tank ideas!]

I have a 20 long setup that has a male betta as the tank ruler it has 2 mystery snails and then cherry shrimp (male betta was a juvie when i added him so he is peaceful and sue to tank mates) For the plants I have 5 moss balls (i love moss balls) i have dwarf hair grass that is carpeting and trying to get dwarf tears to carpet aswell (no CO2 added besides liquid ferts) Then i have moneywort, red crypts, java ferns and swords and anubis nanos along with an unknown steam plant and java moss, and red AMMANIA GRACILIS. I have found these plants are hardy and grow easy. I also have duckweed growing on the surface but i would probably go to a water lettuce if you want a top water plant.

[Staghorn/BBA algae and carbon additives to treat]

Hello,

In one of my tanks I am having trouble with Staghorn algae and Black Beard algae. I have been doing research and have tried the hydro peroxide treatment on my hard materials and it somewhat worked. I am having problems getting it off my plants, i have read that adding seachem flourish excel will help boost the CO2 in the tank and it will help treat it/kill it. Could the same be achieved using the easy carbon and fertilizer that the Co-op sales? Or has anyone treated Staghorn and BBA by boosting carbon and micro ferts and can give any tips?

Update: Its been a few days since I started spot treating with excel (waiting on easy carbon to arrive)and I am seeing improvements. Hopefully this will take care of the Staghorn and BBA

Thank you

[What's your dream aquarium product that doesn’t exist?]

My dream product is a water testing kit that doesnt make me try to distinguish between color shades... i have come to the realization that im awful at distinguishing shades of a color so i more or less watch my fish like hawks to see if they are acting normal ,or i ask my wife to read it for me.

[Favorite, Most Memorable, or Most Treasured Fish]

My first rainbow shark (one of the first fish I ever bought before i knew of stocking levels and really anything about aquariums) was super aggressive and the only fish i've ever named. It use to chase fish till they jumped out of the tank or bully them. That fish while a monster(was totally my fault so i may have been the monster) made me learn and delve deeper into the hobby to get better at it so it wouldnt happen again. I was sad when i found her on the floor.
