That's a nice tank, looks very Zen with that little shrine and light green coloured plants.
I sure wish you wouldn't tear that away

1.5ft... hehe... datz why i'm interested in cheap cheap solution...

slowpoke shrimps

Well, i don't think i will tear down so fast.. i will still want to keep the way it looks, but might just remove the shrine & replace its with rocks.

The only down point to the tank is that my house only got 1 place to put the tank, & the place you can only view 80% of the tank, which is what you view it now.

today going to buy more and more stone and 1 bag of ADA soil seem like i need more slope ...then will playing back on arrangement

actually they selling 1 box of rocks, pre-sellect rocks, which create very nice iwagumi... 1 set cost ~RM300....
yes, u will pay a bit more (a bit more only as the rocks in the box weight quite heavy) becoz they already pre-sellect the rocks in japan...

That is BBA,

Instant solution :
SeaChem Excel, spot treatment.

Long term solution:
bunk up your c02, and dose your fertz accordingly, dunt forget here and there lol.

LOL, our beloved BBA....~!! w00t~!!

@rySse
as drew said some way to get rid of them. IME, i had been attacked with BBA at almost everywhere in my tank. even it;s not serious but it's all around. Filter inlet, leaves, rocks and even at my co2 hose. huhuhuhu~!! having fun with em last time

what I've done are :

a) Filter Inlet (or hose) : take out the filter inlet pipe. put under running tap water and use aquarium sponge and clean them by rubbing them a lil bit hard. some is firmly rooted..just use ur finger to pick it. it'll be easily plucked off if do correctly. For the inside part that you cant reach by ur finger, u can always use tweezers but might be a lil bit challenging. Other way for these affected area are, bleach them~!!! (but i never try or use it anyway).

b) Plant Leaves : just cut out any that affected and scoop em out and throw away

c) Stones (or any place that cant use direct Excel method) : Buy the eyebrow picker at pasar malam for RM2, and pluck them out from the base. some might be a lil bit hard to be plucked. dun worry...just use ur hand if you can reach it.

d) Mosses (yes, I got BBA on my US fissidens before..bleh~!) : Use Small scissors and trim the BBA nicely and as short as you can without snipping the moss (if snipped lil bit is okay), then leave it to your SAE to clear em up for you. You dont want to use Excel Spot Treatment when they're on mosses.....

Try to do manual removal as much as you can. Make sure your co2 is consistent and fert accordingly. well, at least after you;ve cleared up as much as u can by manual removal, throw in one (or 2 based on ur tank size) juvenile SAE. They'll take care the newly growth BBA and will keep BBA at bay while at the same time, u try to gain control back over your Co2 and fert. Observe your tank in a week or two after manual removal and after you've put SAE in there. help your SAE as much as you can to remove the BBA. simple math,... you help them, they'll help u later in the long run. This is what i'm practicing

Once you get back your co2 and fert balance, you can move your SAE or leave it there. It;s your call. My way is not the best way I'm sure but at least I prefer to do that way and as another alternate way for you to try out perhaps. It's just I try my best to not using any chemical way to fight algae (only green water i always surrender and use UV filter). You may follow Drew's suggestion too anyway as it's been recommended by all over the pros discussion.

Keep in mind that battling algae is fun sometimes. Feel the feeling when you;ve won the battle Just enjoy the battle and have fun. dont stress out and good luck~!

From my limited knowledge and research previously, BBA will pay a visit when there's unstable supply of co2. i dunno it for sure when I have 24/7 co2 supply at the same rate. Some says when there's a dead spot in the tank...also not really true for my case. But there might be a logic when there's unstable balance between your co2 and ferts. For me personally, BBA will just come whenever they feel wanna pay a visit in any of my tank even when everything is consistent. I dunno..it;s like a hotel for them for my tank.. hahaha~!!!

@Pucca
cant really see the fry...but damn, im jealous. how come my otto wont breed. again, congratulations bro~!! maybe you can be one among the hobbyist that breeds otto and sell to us cheaper than LFS as you already know, Otto is among the highest demand in cleaner crew
