Navarre Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi There, I have a 350l Heavily planted tank with a few discus and blue rams. Has been up and running for about 12mths with Daltons mix under fine gravel and under gravel heater. I have injected C02 and great growth. However I have developed BBA over the last few weeks and am thinking of dosing with Flourish excel. Any Suggestions on dosing and on time frame. Also do I change my water changing routine. I have not changed feeding routine nor have any fish died in the corner that I havent found....lol My water comes from my own well and I thought that with all this weather that the water may have changed but does not seem to be much different to about 10 mths ago when I last tested. Any Advice always welcomed. Many Thanks Navarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 double dose with flourish excel will do the trick but monitor your inhabitants carefully after treating as some sensitive fish may start to react badly to it such as discus if that happens do a 50% water change. goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplecatfish Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Use a syringe to squirt it on the BBA. It'll turn red in a couple of days and die quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
