My 70L tropical tank has had a huge algae outbreak for a couple of weeks now. Its the type that turns the water green, not the type that sticks on things. I tried a full blackout with no feeding for 5 days, worked a bit, but algae came back.
I have never used an artificial light, the tank just gets the morning sun, and it has never been a problem before this outbreak.
My tank only has 7 tetras, 3 corydoras and an apple snail as well as a couple of ramshorn snails. Water parameters are fine. Tank is fully cycled, its a year and a half old. I am getting desperate, its so bad that I cant even see the background
