I just got brand new lights for my 55g planted tank because my old ones were way underpowered and burning out. So the new lights are two shop lights with two 40w, 6500k, 3000 something lumen bulbs each. I put them on the tank and did a water change and algae cleaning and all that good stuff. I had been having problems with bba so I cut off all the leaves that had it, (which was about half of all the vegitation) and stirred the gravel so it was nice and white colored. Anyways the tank was looking great and the lights were nice and bright. Now the plants are growing better but so is the algae. I havn't seen anymore bba, but theres this new stuff. It's like green mossy netting that's spreading all over the gravel and a bunch of the leaves. I don't know what it is or how to get rid of it. My ph is at 8.0 and my nitrates are at 10ppm. I add API Leaf Zone to my tank weekly too. Any advise would be great. Thanks.
ps. I would love to put some pics on here for you but I still havn't really figured out how to do that...
