Re: Aquatic Plants Digest V3 #688
I've tried the yeast method of CO2 injection twice now. This morning I
noticed the same problem that I had the last time. Very small white
strands accumulate on the side of the aquarium. The first time that I
tried CO2 injection the water got so cloudy that I had to completely
change the water in my 10 gal. tank. The "white stuff" has a slimy
consistency, and is in the form of small thin strands.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is this some form of algae? What can
I do to prevent it? I thought it may have been caused by not having
enough plants in the tank or because of light being the limiting factor of
the photosynthesis in my tank. I have since doubled my light (now about 3
watts/gallon) and crammed a bunch of plants in the tank. I wiped
off the first signs of this white menace this morning. Anyone have any
suggestions?
