I am battling with algae. Started from normal green to hair algae to black beard algae. Bought some zebra nerites but two died and one remaining. Also a small siamese algae eater because tank is only 15 gallon so I can't keep her for long and she developed love for fish food and not helping as I was expecting.
I dosed my tank with excel and it helped me to get rid of bba and hair algae but I keep my lights on for long and they are extremely bright like sun but they are necessary because of the nature of plants.
1) So now the main question is that what dose of excel I must dose daily to prevent algae in my tank? I run pressurised co2 so I am not sure what is the prevention dose I need for a 15 gallon. Please advise.
2) Also does excel clouds the water if used in excess? I had cloudy water on occasions after using excel but that maybe a coincidence. Please advise.
Thanks.
