the 15g been running for only a week now and im already getting hair algea. and tips on getting rid ove it. i have a simease algea eater in there (1'') but i dont no if that will help. will olive nerites, shrimp, otos, or anything eat this
 
anyone??????????????
 
i hate platys and mollies. i have herquin rasboras, black sasbores, panda cotys, sae, oto cat, zebra shrimp, olive nerite snails, trumpet snaild, and more shrimp on the way. any of these eat the stuff
 
Depending on the actual type of algae you have, and the plants you are keeping, flourish excel dosing is a good start.
 
the plants include rotala ''green'', rotalola rotundrifola, cryptocoryne willisi, dwarf sag. lighting is 48watts of 6700k t-5 ho. im dosing 5ml flourish, 3ml potassium, 3ml iron daily. i do have a cheap hagen co2 system.
