whetu Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 http://www.aquariumalgae.blogspot.com/ Scoll to near bottom of page for algae pics and info. From that link: Unstable CO2 levels will induce BBA! The best way to combat Brush algae is by maintaining CO2 at 30ppm, nitrates at 15ppm and phosphates at 0.5ppm. Leaves that are badly overtaken should be discarded. Observations;When I had a problem with BBA, I dosed 1ml per 50 liters of Easy Carbo (equivalent to Flourish Excel) every other day for a week. The algae turned purplish/pinkish and disappeared. Maintaining sufficient CO2 level and is the best way in controlling this algae. Siamese Algae Eater will eat BBA. I haven't had any luck with the Flourish Excel method, but I have found the Siamese Algae eaters do an excellent job of keeping it under control.
