i wonder if they will consume most of it so it get clear again?And yes, pods will consume it.
Eventually maybe, or maybe your tank stays green for months. As suggested, uv/ water changes speed things up. As a whole, not a horrible thing-pods will get a boost. But I wouldn't wait for them to clear the tank on their owni wonder if they will consume most of it so it get clear again?
its a new tankIt's really sticking around? I guess you don't have a lot of skimming/mechanical filtration/filter feeders around - I can dose a few hundred mL to my system and have it clear in 30 mins
It shouldn't harm things, even in terms of blocking out light for other phytosynthetics it shouldn't be too bad, and it should promote explosive growth of copepods, so if you've got any microfauna in your system, they should be able to take care of it. Heavier skimming, mechanical filtration with a very fine filter sock (<10 micron), or just a water change will get rid of it, but I would just leave it and let whatever can eat it pig out for a while.
its a 4 gallon tank with 4 macro algae, 2 gorgs and 1 xenia and 3 yellow cucumbers cuz they splitRight, but is there anything alive in it? The introduction of nearly anything that's been in another tank will bring some microfauna most of the time, and if there really wasn't anything in there, there's probably no benefit from dosing phyto at all.
Similar to my experience. I also overdosed phyto in my 3g frag tank once. It didn't clear up on its own even after over a month. Then I just did a 100% WC.its a 4 gallon tank with 4 macro algae, 2 gorgs and 1 xenia and 3 yellow cucumbers cuz they split
So that piece of info would have been awesome to include in your first post.its a 4 gallon tank with 4 macro algae, 2 gorgs and 1 xenia and 3 yellow cucumbers cuz they split
