HotTunaCartel Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I ended up going back to a blackwater tank.... The hightech worked great for the first few months but couldn't get algae under control. Not sure if it was too much/not enough co2, lighting, macro nutes or even food (the harlequins eat like absolute monsters) . Anyway, I slowly turned it back to blackwater and within a week the algae (black hair) started dying back and turning white. Removed a lot of the larger plants that were taking over the left side. Plus... I really love the blackwater look on the big tank. Can't wait for people to ask why it looks dirty lol 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
