40 Gallon Corydoras Aquarium after some setbacks
Bought new fish and didn't quarantine them long enough and had a bit of a scare. Lost 2 new sick C. Gold Laser, 2 C. eques, a C. concolor and a few tetras. I think everything is OK now.
Meanwhile I didn't realize the Co2 tank ran out and I had a massive outbreak of bearded black algae that appeared basically overnight and was coating everything. Removed the rocks and soaked them in bleach a few days, removed the driftwood (with attached plants) and sprayed them with hydrogen peroxide, scraped down all the glass, removed the worst coated leaves of the plants and removed a few and sprayed them with Hydrogen Peroxide, started dosing the tank with Seachem Excel again.
Just need to remove the filter inlet pipes and give them a good scrub and hopefully things will be under control.
Added some new Lagenandra meeboldii 'Long Leaf' (on the left) because the regular L. meeboldii (on the right) has done so well for me.
