I have a 10 gallon tank cycling right now. I had it pretty much done a month ago, so I added two Java Ferns, but then I overdosed the ammonia. I think i killed off a bunch of nitrifying bacteria. Now, i'm cycling again.
However, I noticed something different this time around. There are diatoms growing in the side of the tank facing the windows. They are also on the glass and on some parts of the other side of the tank.
There are also long, green threads growing on one of my Java Ferns, and recently, they began to grow on glass. The one Fern the algae is growing on seems to grow much slower than the other one, but that may be just a coincidence. I did some research and I believe that they are hair algae.
What should I do?
Thank you!
