I'm trying my hand at a planted take. But, it seems as if I'm failing miserably. My first question is this. Do high nitrates promote algae growth? I've got algae on nearly every square inch of my aquarium.
I'm dosing Seachem, I bought the plant starter pack. Which came with three small bottles. Iron, Fundamentals, and the Carbon. I've been dosing the iron and Carbon every other day. Then the Fundamentals once weekly.
Am I doing something to encourage the algae growth. Today will be the second day of no light in the tank to try and kill off the algae growth. I also purchased three mystery snails and A small pleco in hopes of them consuming some of the algae.
