K, Im about over this hydro stuff

[cranky]

Now I got green algae ...................................

 

yeh yeh..........I know dont let light get into the res, guess what ...........It isnt

 

 

 

"The" plant is looking good. roots are a bit tangled when you look at them but they got a greenish algae look to them, only happened in the last day.

Yeh , makes me feel good about the extra air pump I added yesterday , , must be working O.o

 

the stuff they sell to get rid of algae in fish aquariums OK to use in a DWC ??

 

Man you have no idea how I miss growing in dirt atm ....................

Peroxide. Use it.

Dutch Master Guardian is meant to be the shit to prevent algea growth and to kill it off...i have used it on my current batch of cuttings and the cubes havent gone green at all so im highly impressed and have no probs in recommending it :smoke

Both are very good for algae.

 

I use a flood and drain system where the res gets a fair bit of light and I dont get algae.

Good airation, and water flow. with H202(peroxide), Guardian or even microbile would help.

 

I first started with h202, and used it up until recently. then switched to Guardian.

but only because I couldnt find microbial at the time.

they all work good.

 

The bonus of Guardian is its a once a week this vs once every day or 2.

 

 

If you have algae on your roots it will smother them.
