i was at my lfs today and talking about how i have a major algea problem since my tank is in the window.. i have been trying to come up with ways to cut it down, but i think i am basically stuck with just scrubbing it off.. the problem is, when is scrub it off it accumulates on the surface of the water..
i tried a brine net to skim it off but it doesnt really get it off.. the guy at the LFS said that I should try an airstone, to boost the oxygen exchange, cut down on c02, and it would cut down on algea production/break up the water surface a bit (if i understood what he was saying right, i may have gotten some of the details wrong)....
i figured i would ask here before i did it, any thoughts on whether this is a good or bad idea? it is 14gal bio-cube tank...
thanks!!!
