Hey guys,
Ive been having some issues with trying to rid this surface algae for a few months. It started out when I used some "natural" meds and then the algae took over.
Ive tried raising my light, lowering my light on time, upping my CO2 (with my light in its normal position). Nothing really seems to help, ive even manually removed plants that had it bad and brushed it off.
I have a chemical to get rid of algae but its hard on shrimps and snails so I dont want to use it.
Is there anyway to get rid of this much algae naturally? Really struggling finding the right balance to get rid of it.
Here is some pictures of the type of algae im dealing with.
