Aquarium Advice Regular
I believe its called diatoms as well?
Either way I know it is sometimes apart of a newly setup tank, Tank has been running for 2 months or so and I have a good amount of it on my airline hose, underwater pump power cord, heater power cord, a very coarse rock, and a few of my plastic plants. Ive been rubbing it off with my hands and a tooth brush but it grows back within 2 days. Anything I should or shouldnt do to help this situation out?
I also have live plants as well, none of the algae is out competing my plants as they are doing great. My tank gets about 3-4 hours of natural morning sunlight.
Also that rock has a coating of green algae on it, but it looks nice so I dont touch that rock. I can take pictures if needed.
Thanks!
