Ok thanks for your input

Rivercats, Yes the algae strands do have a slight green tinge to them and some are quite long. Yesterday I did about a 40% wc and started the 3 day blackout. About I week ago I did use h202 and it didn't really seem to help. Thanks for the info should I do another wc after the blackout still? Thanks

I only use flourish excel and occasional doses of iron for my ludwigia.

Wow looks nice

Ok thanks for the info maybe I should shorten the photoperiod after maybe a 2-3 day blackout

Should I do a blackout on my tank for a couple days to get rid of it?

I have the finnex ray 2 and lights are on from around 10am to 6pm

I also use flourish excel everyday at 1ml and this tough algae still grows

I forgot to say that I have tried a little hydrogen peroxide too and it didn't really seem to help

Hi Ive had a 5.5 planted tank since around December and things have been growing well. But ever since March I've been seeing this type of algae start to grow all around me tank. I think it is some type of thread algae and it is spreading fairly quickly. Can anyone tell me what it is and how to...

Nice, love the scape

I probably ended up spending $30-40 in all for plants. However the most of the plants just took some time to grow in. It took a few weeks until the plants started exploding with growth. Just keep up with the tank and your plan and your tank should look great.

My 5.5 Gallon after from the beginning and present. It really colored up and grew in nicely (It looked so bad at first haha). Specs: 5.5 gallon tank, floramax substrate, finnex ray 2 16 inch, and top fin 10 gallon filter. Before: After:

Those do indeed look like aquatic plants. The second picture looks like a green ozelot sword, and the last picture seems to be some sort of fern, maybe Java fern

Amano shrimps are a really good species that clean up a lot of algae and look fairly nice
