Hi all again. I just got home from a week long trip to new york (I'm from California) and found that my tank was......inadequately...taken care of while I was away. Long story short, the person who I was supposed to take care of it wasn't paying attention while I was explaining how and the official story is she didn't know how to turn the lights off and forgot to dose excel.
In any case I got back and the lights had been on for a week straight without excel. The plants seem fine for the most part, but the reason I mention excel is because algae has completely taken over my tank and I have no idea what to do from here!
Its...everywhere! My Java Moss is completely infested and looks alien at this point. What should I do? Blackout for how long? Dose excel will help kill it or...?
The rocks, the plants, the substrate, and the aquarium are covered with it! I'm surprised the fish aren't too (they were fed and all are alive, thankfully)!
What to do?
