Seanwoodey Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Thanks. Definitely helps. I don’t want to put chemicals in unless I have to but I like the idea of algae eaters. Anyone know of any really good algae eaters, maybe some kind if snail I don’t own, or maybe I need more snails (many trumpet, 2 mystery and 4 nerite in 25l tank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 BBA can definitely become an issue, choke equipment, and cause some issues. Something like hydrogen peroxide treatments are a good way to keep things in check while you try to balance out whatever is going on. If you have any more detailed questions please feel free to ask! This is the guide I used to dose my tank with hydrogen peroxide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
