Hello, I have a planted 55 gallon freshwater tank, and there is not a lot of algae present, except on a large piece of mopani wood. The algae is a mid green, and sticks to the wood so thoroughly that scrubbing does nothing.
I don't want to use any additives to the water to kill what little algae I have on one side of the tank, and the algae seems to be hard enough that my algae eaters can't scrape it off effectively either.
I also do not wish to bleach the wood since it might leach the bleach back into the water. Is there some other way where I can remove the wood and kill off and clean the algae?
I also tried reducing my light, and water parameters are fine. I just wish for this one piece of wood to be clean again.
