Ripper Hollow

It looks like I’m getting a new type of algae (new to me at least). I believe it’s BBA, black beard algae. I’ve increased my CO2 to about 4 bps instead of 2 1/2, so I’ll check my water parameters in a few days to see how that goes. I might dose some Flourish Excel tommorrow as well, as I’m still battling string algae. I’m going to order some nerite snails soon to help the mystery snails and Chinese alga eaters with the algae as well. I’m thinking about ordering a couple oto’s as well.

On a happy note, my Christmas moss is starting to grow out on my moss wall a little bit, and the weeping moss on my driftwood is a nice bright green under the algae. I think I’ll spot treat it with excel as well.

I ordered a bunch of new plants for my aquarium this week. These include crypts, anubias, mosses, and a carpet plant. Here’s a list:

Crypt wendtii
Anubias nana
Anubia minima
Crypt parva
Christmas moss (for moss wall)
Weeping moss (for moss wall)

I haven’t had the time to plant them, so I just tossed them into the tank until I can rescape. I plan on rescaping tomorrow. I’m going to pull all the plants out and change everything around. Wish me luck!
