Hi all,
I am using a Sting-Ray FL-24 light and keeping it on around 7-8 hours a day. I currently have 3 Vallisneria spiralis plants and they are doing very well. I've only been using root tabs once I planted them. I started to use Seachem Excel and Flourish but stopped about a week ago due to my other tank being overrun with algae.
I recently noticed some small amounts of algae growing on the glass of my tank. I figured if there is enough excess nutrients for algae to grow another plant might help to fight the algae for food.
My question is, if I add a few more plants will they use up the nutrients that are still in the water that the algae is growing with?
Thank you,
