Just a small update. Having the lights down to the regular 10hrs per day, and stickign with 1mL N and 1mL Flourish for the past week, the algae has been diminishing quickly. There is no longer much in the ways of green hair algae except on a select few val. leaves. There is still green on my glass, but it is no longer hairy, more flat and green... I kind of like the looks of it to be honest, but if it doesn't go away on its own in then next week or so I'll just scrub 'er down.
My CO2 mix is running at roughly 1 bubble per seconds and my BBA is still not totally dying off. There is less of it now at least, but it is not disappearing for me . Otherwise everything is going well. I am already seeing new shoots of glosso getting sent out. My vals are having no trouble at all sending out new runners... but they just aren't growing taller for me. I am going to start a new thread elsewhere on that though.
In other news, on Monday I fed my tank a slice of zucchini about 1/4" thick. The first day or two it wasn't touched by my shrimp or fish. Then I wake up the next morning and there was like half of it missing lol. I do not know if my shrimp at much of it but I know my fish did- they seemed to love it. I am going to drop one slice in a week for them since they liked it so much . Just thought I would share that
