Anyone have any advice for removing haor algae from a planted tank? It is starting to build up on the edge of the leaves of my plants.

Is it hi-tek? Less wpg, shorter photo period, add co2

BN pleco might help a bit if you have the room . But it won't solve the entire problem.

True Hair algae is actually a sign of good water quality. You can easily wrap them around a wooden skewer and pull them out. Jordanella floridae might eat them.

It is pretty dark I'm thinking its beared algae. Whatever it is its very frustrating.
