My 55gal, having the least amount of fish. Never looks clean. I understand a large part of this could be due to the fact i have white sand. Any way, I am constantly struggling with brown algea on the glass of my tank. I wipe it off and over night it comes back. I also have been having a slime algea problem. It is on the side of the tank on the sand that gets direct sunlight for only an hour or 2 at the most. Also the water looks a little tea colored. I have added Extra carbon to my filter but it hasn't helped. I'm at a loss. It wasn't, but a month ago my water was crystal clear. All water parameters are at 0ppms except Nitrates which haven't gone over .25ppms. My ph is 7.5. I do 25% water changes weekly.
My 20gal gets more sunlight has same water parameters and pH. Has no algea at all.
Should i get a pleco? i heard the poop alot and the last thing i want to look at is more fish poop.
