Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on fish that will eat brown algae from my tank? It's a 55gal with 2 silver-tip sharks, 6 tiger barbs, and 2 Leporinus Fasciatus.
So i Did a Phosphate check on my tank and the levels were 0? idk what it could be? any suggestions. I'll get i picture on here after school gets out... Ps its my tank hahaDo a phosphate check to see if your levels are too high, the, as Rivercats said, dial back the lighting. Also watch the feeding as well.
When my phosphates were out of control, which manifested itself as diatomes all over the tank, 2 100mL pouches of SeaChem PhosGuard in the filters for a week took care of it. My phosphates are back to normal (for a lightly planted tank), the brown stuff is gone, and the tank looks great.
I still do weekly phosphate tests so I can catch it before it gets out of control.
