How old is your setup?

Re: SOS ALGAE PROBLEM!
I see two kinds, Green spot and Brown dust ( Diatom).
Green Spot - Do 50% WC and double your P
Diatom - Regular water changes and introduce otos.
You need to check your dosing to see if there is adequate N ( 20 - 30 pmm) P ( 1 to 3 ppm) K ( 20-30 ppm) and Fe ( 1 ppm)
Green Spot - Do 50% WC and double your P
Diatom - Regular water changes and introduce otos.

Since I'm having jbl NPK combined can I double the dosage?
I introduced two otos but they died any other means please.
Please tell me how to check my dosing.

Re: SOS ALGAE PROBLEM!
I am not sure about JBL NPK combined as i have not used them. Did you not get a dosing guide with it? Gradually raise your dosing @ .5 ml and see how the plants respond.

I didn't plant more plants because I was apprehensive that it will shadow the smaller plants
Am I wrong, should I plant more plants?
Thank you,

Re: SOS ALGAE PROBLEM!
Try to find out how we should plant, how much gap we need to keep between plants, what's the grouping style for plantation. You definitely need more more plants.
