I just noticed this afternoon that I had algae in my filter. I rinsed off the plastic mat for the filter and changed my cartridge and now I have algae particles floating in the tank. I have two gallons of water on the counter waiting for for the chlorine to evaporate off ,so I can do a water change tomorrow. My tank is not close to a window,but I've been home daily this summer, so have been running a light about twelve hours a day. I'm back to work,so the light will be on about four hours a day.
Other than a water change what can I do about algae and is it dangerous to fish or just a nuisance?
