Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Ok...i have 2 goldfish in a 15 gallon tank. After leaving the light on for about 8 hrs one day i had a lot of algae. It is kinda greenish yellowish. I did some research on how to get it out. I did about 3-4 25% water changes, i bought some Tetra Water Clarifier and Tetra Easy Balance to help my alkalinity.
Right now im doing a blackout...i have to towels over the aquarium....is this the best thing to do?
Once the algae is gone should i get a weaker light or is there a kind of light anyone reccomend? im totally devoted to these fish to the point where i got up at like 1 in the morning to do a water test and to make sure the water was safe. Before i began the blackout i did a water test to make sure the water is safe.
Also...my alkalinity is low...how do i raise it? its about 35-40 and i need it higher for my fish.
The box that i test the water with say to add Tetra Easy Balance..but it didnt work....it only helps the ph level a little bit...
I NEED HELP!
