Re: bba control experiences.
like Sushant replied, most convenient method is to observe through drop checker. This thread is quite old and i have been relieved of my bba problem ....what worked for me was a combination of increasing co2 and more importantly improving flow. improvement was dramatic!!

Watch this video...H2O2 is very effective against BBA....but be very careful with the dosage....recently i killed lots of BBA with the help of H2O2 spray along with fishes .....It is v effective if you don't have fishes in ur tank...if you have fishes then please use 1.5 ml per G of water (considering your H2O2 solution is 6% )...........
