My tank has a major green hair algae problem. It is growing on the plants, rocks and filter. This tank has been running for a year now. I do regular 2 week water changes. Nitrates, Nitrates, ph, temp have all been stable for about 9-10 months. Dont know why I got algae now but it is rampant. Every 3rd day I dose api carbon boost and every 2 weeks I dose api leaf zone. I have a finnex planted plus on the tank. It is a 20 gallon tall. I now these are low doses but slows my plants down for less trimming and they look just as healthy. The tank has assorted small tetras, corys and otos. There is also green algae on the walls. 6-8 hours of light a day is all I do. Should i get a couple small baby plecostimus to clear it up and move them to a larger tank later or is there another solution.
