fort384 said:It sounds like you are being affected by several different kinds of algae.
A few questions:
What are your water parameters? (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH/KH if you have it)
What kind of lighting do you have on the tank? (type of bulbs, wattage, color temp)
How long per day are you lighting the tank?
How long has the tank been established?
Are you dosing any kind of fertilizers?
What kind of fish are in the tank? How many of each? How often are you feeding, and what are you feeding?
Some pics of the plants will help identify what you have... and help determine proper lighting. Some pics of the algae will help specifically identify which types you have.
I have a question. Am I supposed to change out some of the water to prevent algae. I am having the same poblem. I clean the filter twice a week. But no matter how often I clean the glass and filter I can't control the algae on my live plants and stones.
