I just entered into this marvelous world of LIVE PLANTS in my tank about a month ago. I didn't go crazy- I've got just 4 really simple and hardy plants - Brazilian swords, Java Fern, a Sandy, and.... this other plant that has reddish leaves- the name escapes me at the moment. BUT ANYWAY- please look at the pictures below - I am getting a reddish-brown algae ON my plants. Can you please advise me on what I can do to curb this? I've been struggling with it in the tank for months and months - I thought I had read that plants would help - but it appears that its taking over my plants too! :x
Thanks so much in advance. I know I haven't been around lately but I've missed everyone.
ADDITION - forgot to say I've got 30 watts of light and its a 26 gallon tank. The rest of the tank info is in my sig.
