If BBA is hitting the anubias, the plants have not settled in. Get some Otos. They will wipe the driftwood clean.

Finding otos is a very difficult task in Delhi.

When low light plants such as Anubias keeps under high light, they get infested by algae. So change their position, and keep under shade of other plants.

agreed, but im finding it in shaded areas too.

Also wondering whether i have too much light. Right now im using 4x54w t5ho 20" from substrate. What do u guys think?

My dear sir...finding hobbyists who can help you find Otos in Delhi is relatively easy !!!

the easiest method is by using dropchecker.

[aquascapist]

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% )...........
