Is there anything I can do to get rid of this algea on my dwarf sags? I love this plant and it's growing very well, sending up daughter plants all over the place but a lot of the ends of some of the leaves have short black hair algae which makes them look terrible!
It's really lousy when a plant is growing so well and you have to rip off leaves because of this algae. Anyone else have this problem and if so, what do you do? I really don't want to have to rip this plant out of my tank, it's bad enough that I've had to cut a lot of leaves off of it.
These sags are in my 29 gallon tank, with pressurized CO2 at approximately 30 ppms and my lighting is 1x55 watts retro-fit from AH Supply. I am still playing around with my ferts and mostly dosing potassium every other day at 1/8th tsp and CSM+B on alternate days at 1 tsp of mixture made up at 1 tablespoon per 500 mil of distilled water. My fish and plants seem to take care of the nitrates, they are usually at 10ppms but if lower, I add KNO3 and I add phosphated via Fleet approximately once a week at 6 drops. It's been taking me quite a while to get this tank under control and I'm still having a hard time.
Many thanks!
