stimpy29 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 what exactly is the cause of bba? ,i have had it for a few months now. i have been dosing PMDD for 2 weeks now and my plants are starting to grow again. this doesnt seem to have effected the bba at all. we live on a farm so we are on tank water , if it falls out of the sky it goes in to my tanks , im going to start with flourish excell to get rid of it , but want to know if it will come back again.

Rockerpeller Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 if you have val or twisted val, and you use Flourish Excel, don't they melt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 if you have val or twisted val, and you use Flourish Excel, don't they melt? not sure about that, flourish excell is a liquid carbon designed to enhance plant growth. fortunately it also kills BBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K R Brown Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 so flourish be all good in unplanted tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 yeah, i think so. its a product designed to enhance growth. Make sure you get the right products, flourish is a fert & flourish excell is a carbon. as far as i can remember all the flourish products are also designed to be used in conjuction with each other.
