    Hi All

    What's the easiest way to get rid of BBA? I have read the algae info site someone suggested in a post here on TASA and it recommends I control my CO2 levels. I dont have a CO2 dispenser as I have a malawi tank. The only thing I can think of is that its my nitrates? My test kit has run dry and none of the LPS have any in stock!

    Are there any compatible catfish that will assist long term going forwards? I had a 30cm common pleco but took him back to the store recently as he was making more mess than he was cleaning up!

    depends where is it growing?if its the hardware take it out and treat with a strong dose of seachem excel.if its all over which it normally is add directly to the tank during waterchanges when the water is low.it helped me,but it always comes back just for different reasons.
