[APD] GDA

["Mariano F. Bonfante" <mariano_bonfante at hotmail_com>]

My GDA does not corresponded to the mentioned cycle. I left to mature the 
coat over glasses many times for 15 days, 20 days, clean up all the mess, 
and then snap!, Back again.

I tell you what, they colonize plants too. So as soon plant take a new 
leave, you have a brand new place for GDA to move to a new home.

I don?t know if my strain is different from yours in the north hemisphere, 
but the ?just leave it alone? did not worked at all for me.

What it did help is scrap glasses and clean them with paper, avoiding the 
green stuff to touch tank water, but this is not a cure.

Now I am going in other direction. Somebody said: don?t measure water 
parameters if you use EI, since you can predict what?s up all the time. 
Well, I did it with precision reactives and I found low nitrates and high 
phosphates in my current schedule. I was supposing an intake rate that was 
not true.

On the other hand, I was told that some strain of BGA may look like GDA, so 
may be my low nitrates matches with this. In fact, I share plant with a 
friend of my, and he never experience this algae in his tank, but he doses 
the double of my NO3.

Let?s see what happens.
