I have a 55 gallon but all I grow is algae. Brown algae all over my plants and glass and green dot algae all over glass. I also have hair algae on my substrate.
Specs:
Finnex Ray 2 - 7 hours a day
Using dry frets, micros MWF, macros TTS.
Water changes about 40% a week on Sunday's.
About 6 rainbow fish, and 4 Cory cats.
Substrate is Eco complete.
plants:
Some Java fern
Glossostigma (basically dying)
Staurogyene repens (also dying)
Large Amazon sword (covered in brown algae)
Hair grass (covered in algae)
I'm thinking I don't have enough plants to out compete the algae.
Do I have enough light?
My co2 checker reads green after a few hours of co2.
Thanks for your helps.
