If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Can we get a full tank rundown? It's not really practical to diagnose a problem without knowing critical things like light, photoperiod, ferts, CO2, etc.
Also, can we get a picture of this algae? Many types of thread algae are often misidentified as staghorn.
OK I have a top fin 15 gallon aquarium. With mostly java fern but also a little bit of cardinal plant. I am dosing api brand leaf zone and. Co2 booster (although I have been lazy about it recently which is probably the reason I have as much as I do) as recommended by the bottles. And the lights run from 8 am to 9pm I had flourite substrate at the time of the post but I recently got rid of most of it to switch to sand. As for the staghorn at the moment, I cleared most of it off but the remaining strands have turned a reddish orange color. I will post a picture of the tank now and I will post another if it ever comes back...
