We have a heavily planted 40g tank with a hair algae problem. I have plucked clumps of it out when I do the weekly w/c. We started a black out on Wednesday. This morning when I did the weekly w/c I plucked out more clumps but it doesn't seem to be dying off quickly. So here's my questions:
Should I continue with the black out?
Will the plants be ok?
I haven't used ferts in 2 weeks now, is the going to be ok?
We have bamboo shrimp and otos in the tank, are there any safe products that can be used with them? (All the ones we've found aren't safe for crustaceans,scaleless fish and some not safe for planted tanks either)
The tank has black sand mixed with activ-flora substrate and I use Seachem Flourish for ferts. Lighting is just a regular aquarium/plant fluorescent bulb.
