Aquarium Advice Newbie
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have been battling an orange'ish algae on a weekly basis for a couple of months. The aquarium is about 4 months old. I want to control this stuff, but I am not having any success. The water temp is 75 and the light is on about 8 hours per day. Any suggestions?
Last weekend, I completely cleaned the tank. Everything, but the fish and about 60% of the water was removed. After cleaning the decorations and the gravel under water, I then thought maybe it would be good to boil the decorations and the gravel to make sure the crud was dead. Everything was then put back together. I went away on business for 4 days and I came home to the largest crud invasion I have seen (See the picture).
Its a 10 gallon freshwater tank.
