水草情迷

Size : 60cm x 30 x 36
Filter : P30
Soil : ADA Black I 及面沙
CO2 : 1 秒 2-3泡
Light 1: Solar Max nano 150w HQI (11am-7pm) 離水面 7",
Light 2: Cyber aqua LED (for 晚間觀魚用)
Temp : 24-27C
開缸 3 week, 水已清
肥:之前每日 1ml EasyCarbo , 而家轉左 1.3ml excel daily, so far 落過 1ml Step1

問題 : 唔知係咪 150w HQI 太光, 藻類應有盡有, 黑毛, 絲藻, 髮藻, 藍綠藻等等, 石面有青苔(不過好靚) , 迷矮迷牛有D 黃及有類似髮藻, 生得慢, 針葉黃冠有少許溶葉及黑無,但生長速度ok ,面沙有D 一pat pet 嘅類似藍綠藻(很綠的), 前右面兩支不知名的草追光, 跟底部生氣根及生各生出一個新頭.
係唔係太太光引致生藻呢?或者係溫度唔stable ?應唔應該換支 70W 嘅 HQI ?

Thanks.

P.S.
滷仔下面黑色的是 Cinfoil, 因懷疑過光所以「姐」住佢少少減下光。

I'd say 150W HQI is way too strong for your tank. Also, how long has the tank been set up? You don't need any fertilizers in the first 3 months. It seems that algae have already burst in your tank. Blue Green and Black Beard Algae are the ones I hate most. It takes a very long time and daily maintenance to recover.

thanks fish fan,
Should I change to 70W HQI instead?
The tank is 3 weeks old.
About the fertilizers, I just apply excel now since I heard that it can kill black algae. Should I stop that as well?
Any good tips to recover? I had read a lot of old post here about flighting algae, but...no conclusion.

thanks.

Any good tips to recover? I had read a lot of old post here about flighting algae, but...no conclusion. I have attached a reference table below. See if it helps.

Thanks again fish fan,
I am using Solarmax 150w hqi, they have 70W version available. If 70W is much better, I will try to make a post to exchange here.
For excel, I will try spot injection, but 1.5ml is the recommend dosage for my tank, can I overdose to achieve enough spot injection?
and thanks for the table...it is great!

I know we can use 70W bulb on 150W adapter in general. However, There is another thread discussing this Solarmax nano lamp regarding bulb issue, someone said he did try to use 70w bulb on 150w case, burn after hours. And I did sent mail to the dealer to ask, but got no reply.
Or I can spend few hundred to buy a 70w bulb to test my luck. Anyone know it is 100% work?

just got an official reply from solarmax. They said can't use 70w bulb on 150w ballast.

換過隻(70W)火牛咪得囉!!!
不過你個缸都唔係好高者,
都唔使用到鹵仔咁勁呀???

喺...換牛換膽, 咁不如成支換, 舊嘅成支放或者留來第日用.
我中意鹵仔嘅水影, LED 之前試過 DIY,唔夠光, 洗左 1千幾百,算吧,不如直接用鹵仔. 唔再尋尋覓覓.

after spot inject of excel, decrease light, more CO2, change water, some of the black algae was turn to grey already. but Blue green algae still here , need remove manually, but they are still growing.

For Blue Green Algae, you may try TDC. But be careful of the dosage. Over dozing can kill the creatures and plants.

我諗你要搬走的魚再落重手去清的藻啦....
的植物死左咪再種過囉....反正都係做景者,
如果唔係個缸成日都爆藻睇見都冇引啦

update : 黑毛已經灰得7788, 另外,昨晚調較雨淋管方位, 增加泥面水流, 藍綠藻都開始消散, 另不知為何, 髮藻絲藻沒有增加, 只剩下之前的少量,
看來減光換水有點 work....

另外, 死去了的黑毛用什麼辦法清走?
