Not entirely sure it's BGA. BGA is green and slimy. Is the stuff on the leaves slimy? Any growing on the substrate? Does it grow on any inert stuff or just the plant leaves? I got some in my tank-see...

Impressive. I dont have a PAR meter, but I pretty sure if I ran my LED's that high I will get an algae farm. Do you need a lot of CO2 at these light levels?

Another good tank. The blyxa is a fairly agressive plant though.With those lights, CO2 and EI dosing, I see it taking over the whole tank, unless you are ready with a chain saw.....

Why lower the pH? 7.5 is not bad. Maybe for breeding purposes?
Those driftwood look good. How about tying some moss or Java fern on top of the wood? Needle leaf, trident or windeov jave fern will...

Brilliant! Its enough for a lot of plants. Do your lights come with sunrise/sunset setting? Otherwise, would you be able to DIY?

The return pump is a Blagdon 5000LPH 65 watt. There are more economical (energy consumtiom wise)
Some of the return flow is recirculated into the sump. A two outlet garden hose attachment diverts...
