I just finished cycling my tank in mid July, and I and just endured an algae bloom. I was doing daily 30% water changes for the last 5 days (including today) and its pretty well cleared up.
Now I'm wondering if I could get some plants in order to hinder the algae in its growth. I know there are other options but I have heard that corys will profit from having plants in the tank.
My tank is a 35gallon with a fluval 206 canister filter running the media that came with it (bio foam, ceramic rings and carbon, which I have replaced every month) I have 5 danios and 4 panda corys. I have a fine sand substrate and some lace rock.
I will be going the fish store hopefully within the next weekend so that the algae can't grow back.
This will be the first time that I will have a planted tank so any extra tips or information on things I might need to get while at the fish store would be appreciated.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
