Birds Nest with Brown Algae

[PrettyFishies]

Does this look like algae?

Yes it probably isn't getting enough flow if algae is settling on it

This happens with my birds nests when they are in mostly direct flow. I would move it as this doesn't come out well normally.

 

[PrettyFishies]

Too much or too little? It's near the top in what I thought was high flow.

 

[Sniperhank]

If a power head is pointed right at it, it will die. Too much.

 

[bribo12]

It should be in high flow but not straight in front of a powerhead.

So I moved one PH to point to the back glass and the other one is about 3.5' away from the frag, pointing at it. Is that a problem too?
