Hi I am reasonably new to tropical fish and have started getting problems with alge growth in my tank. Can anyone give me pointers in how to stop the alge spreading.
It's different Alge to what I normally see, it's like a mini plant (almost grass) but only grows about 10mm high and then spreads! It's not normal green alge, it more black!
I no phosphates are a contribution to alge, so what is the best thing to get to test this. Also how long do u recommend the fish light should be on in one day to give my fish and live plants the best lighting.
Any suggestions?
