help. not sure what is going on here

[jose227]

My finger leather has been closed and over run by this algae. My parameters a lo ok. Very low nitrates almost 0 and no phosphates.

If it has algae growing on it there is not enough flow, try moving it closer to a powerhead.

Any idea what kind of algae that might be

How old is the tank?

 

[jose227]

3 month's.. I been doing water tests but keep getting same readings. 0 all across. Ph is a 8.0
I'm going to go get a second test done at the lfs

 

[Rpbustillo]

Is the algae brown or red? If it's brown probably just diatoms, they will go away on it's own.

I had this happen when I first put my green finger leather in my tank after a slight water flow adjustment the algae slowly went away but it still took some time
