Here trying to find out what the consensus is on algae bloom. My local store says algae isn’t bad for the fish it just looks bad to us. They suggested UV light to clear it along with daily Flourish excel and weekly Flourish.
I read that UV lights can kill too much bacteria, kill fish etc so am afraid to mess with them now.
I added a Fluval Clearmax packet in the filter on Saturday and am not seeing an improvement. Today I did a small water change and moved the packet to the front of the hanging filter instead.
20g, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, 0.25 ammonia, 7 pH, I haven’t had phosphorus level checked. Advice? TIA .
