F15hguy Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Have just been speaking to a local aquatic gardener who was talking about using liquid CO2 to combat outbreaks of BBA, makes sense as BBA can sometimes be caused by excess lighting with insufficient CO2. has anyone else tried this before, and with what results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I tried this using the API co2 booster product and it seemed to do nothing really, best thing I've found is to stop using ferts and cutting down my light period to 6 hours a day. I also done a complete blackout of the tank for 5 days and that seemed to stunt its growth and now it's dying off real well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 There are some other threads on the forums relating to CO2 dosing. From what little I have read, most use Flourish Excel to combat BBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
