Re:BGA - any thoughts?



I too am in BGA hell.  I've no great successes too report except to say
that I'd had it before and it went away and I'm not sure why.  Recently
I discovered AH supply and put a custom hood on this tank using power
compacts in an effort to increase illumination on a tank that was sorely
in need of it. AH supply was a "dream-find".  The light is excellent;
plants are bubbling away and lo and behold, guess who's back?  You
guessed it!  BGA!  I've made a few adjustments to decrease the amount of
wattage, only very slightly, and I'm going to try decreasing
illumination time from approx. 12 hours per day to between 10 and 11.
I'll keep you posted to see if it makes any difference.  I'm curious
about trying some carbon pellets in my canister filter to see if that
would make a difference but I'm afraid that it might have ill effects on
the plants.  Any thoughts............... anyone?............
Anyone?.....................Bueller?...............
