Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Maybe someone can help. My nitrates are at 5.0. Could this be affecting the diatoms and algae. Are the nitrates too low. I use excel, not co2. Black algae on larger leaves of anubius and sag. Brown algae or diatoms I guess on the sidez and bottom sand level, also on higher leaves of the water sprites. Frustrating. But the tank has only been running for 2 mo. With plants.
