Once upon a time, a planted tank became a CO2 injected planted tank. With a plant friendly substrate, 3 wpg and a pressurized CO2 injection it was destined for greenness. Sadly over the past few weeks, the plants have become over grown with what can only be described as a greenish scum. Obviously an algae of some sort, the fairly inexperienced plant keeper found himself powerless to fight it. It covers everything in the tank and can't be healthy for the plants but is (fortunately) easy to remove. The question is how to fight the stuff long term. Water is changed in the tank at least twice a month. No ferts are dosed as it is unclear to the keeper of the tank what ferts to dose and when. Any help to rid this kingdom of such a scourge would be greatly appreciated.
