I have planaria on my glass and floating in the water, at least I think it's planaria. I've had them before but I don't know why I have them now. I know they are caused by uneaten food, but my nitrates are only 5ppm and I do water changes with gravel vacuuming every week (40%) I don't vacuum...
I am going to take one bulb out, so I only have 24 watts of t5ho on the tank. I am going to start dosing some liquid ferts and continue dosing carbon.
Do you think I before starting this I could do I 4 day blackout to kill off the algae that is present? It is covering the leaves of my plants...

My nitrates are 5 ppm, lighting has been a little irregular but now around 8 hours, dosing api co2 about 1.5 times the recommended amount because someone recommended I do that in my last post. My algae is getting exponentially worse.
