    How is the flow in your tank? and Ive read somewhere that iodine helps also. Just make sure you monitor how much you are dosing if your going to dose.

    I can keep GSP with no problems what so ever so i don't know what the deal is.....but I think there is plenty of flow in that small of a tank and i don't dose with iodine cause I dont want to get into that mess in that small of a tank but I figured that since they grow like weeds then it wouldn't be that much of a problem but maybe I will pick up a small amount of iodine and see what happens
