I have a broad leaf anubias that recently started getting little, fuzzy black spots on its leaves. From what I've read, it's probably black beard algae. I don't see it anywhere else. What are my options for removing it?
My light is a T8 8000K full spectrum, and it's usually on for about 10 hours. I suspect I need to cut back to about 7 hours. Should I start with that right away, or scale back over a week or so?
The tank is still cycling, and the water parameters are: pH 7.4, ammonia 0-0.25, nitrite 0, nitrate 3. I change 25% of the water weekly.
I'm thinking about a clean-up crew of a couple of pygmy corydora, or maybe amano shrimp (I assume they'd be too big for my betta to try to eat).
