Thank you

Tell us about your tank:

Size?
Age?
Stock?
Lighting (wattage, type, duration)?
Fertilization?
Substrate?
NH4?
NO2?
NO3?
PO4 (if available)?

How long have you had the plants, and how long ago did the algae start forming? Has anything changed in the tank?

Hi I had the exact same thing I found that if you cut it off and turned off the lights it helps

Need more info - what is good on the params? What kind of substrate? Tell us more about your lights - what kind of LEDs? How many? Lighting duration?

OK,

Eco-Complete Plant Substrate
Marineland - Aquatic Plant LED w/Timer
48"-60"

I have two settings, one for Blue and one for the full light.
Blue is from 7:00am to 5:00pm. Full is from 8:00am to 4:00pm.

Does this help?

I have a planted tank.. I want to make sure plants get enough light.

all my plants are flourishing with no lights on

 

[Ezzn]

So just keep the lights off and it will go away?

 

[fort384]

Maybe. It depends on the underlying issue.

 

[Ezzn]

What would that be?
