Hi
See below and myinfo for tank information. Sorry I don't have water parameters at this time.
I found an algea problem while looking at my tank this morning. It covers some of my java moss and there is a bit of it on my ambulia (looks like a cabomba). It is green (darker and bluer than the java moss) and it looks slimy. It pearls.
As you can see, I have an algea crew but they are not good workers: the shrimps always stay on the same part of the piece of wood and the otos are always on the glass. Neither ever go on the ground or on the plants (How come?). So I will have to find another way of getting rid of the algea. I add 1ml of excel every few days. I don't know if that is enough or too much but this is what is recommended on the bottle (I think they recommend every day but it sounded too much to me). I also add 5ml of exel flourish when I do my pwc (about once every two weeks).
What else can I do?
Thanks
Vero
