Been a while - just plugging along with the tank.
No major changes but I continue to battle bubble algae - the lettuce and hair algae disappeared as the tank matured. I started dosing phosban and using carbon last fall - no difference. I've changed by maintenance to 5 gallon WC every 4 weeks as every 2 didn't seem to make a difference.
On January 12th I used my first dose of Vibrant and saw results in a matter of days. This is a 29 gallon and I'm figuring +/- 20 gallons of water so I'm dosing 20 ml/week. Bubble algae is disappearing but I'm getting cyano - assuming that too will pass once things balance.
Pictures from 1/17/2021(5 days after dosing) - most of the bubbles have turned clear, very few are green. I didn't take pics before but you can tell I had a lot (I've been controlling with kalk paste)
