This has been an ongoing issue for a while in my 75 gal tank. I have a type of hair algae growing on my plants. It seems to only attach itself to plants too. It was covering my Water Onion, and mostly on my amazon sword and it was all over the Dwarf Sagittaria and Broadleaf Sag. It's starting to edge its way on to my new Red Dwarf Lily and new full length Sag.
Here's what it looks like if anyone can ID it properly for me:
On the Amazon Sword
Also on the Amazon Sword
Getting good growth on my new Crypts, too.
I've not found a good solution yet. I had dropped the amount of time of light, 4x 28W T5 Normal Output, but it was rather detrimental to the plants. The Sags and Water Onion are hanging on. I don't know that using Flourish Excel is doing anything on the algae.
Thanks for any help and thoughts.
