well my planted tank was doing great for the first month or two then algae started becoming a problem! it would grow on my water sprite and my windelov so i would just siphon it off with air line tubing which worked great for a while but then it started growing to fast! and it started to encroch(sp?) on my radican sword and my Sagittaria subulata(taking out and brushing) and these are not as easy to clean as my water sprite and my windelov is almost impossible to clean because they algae grows all over the little tassles! so i took the water sprite out(pemantely/temporarily idk which) so i cleaned it off really well and put it in my tropheus tank algae doesnt grow on plants very well in there cuz they eat it all up!
but i am getting some new plants in the mail this week and would like the remedy this problem before they get here!
right now there are no ferts once the new plants come in iron will be added because some of my plants are red and this will brighten their color!
there is added co2 too! but according to Wyldfya's very opinionated opinion it isnt doing much!
my lighting is on 13hours a day! was originally 14 but i turned it down! it is a 30in Colormax, Full-Spectrum and 6700k (Freshwater Aqualight T-5)
temp is 78
ph-7.0
how can i get rid of this algae? and once i have post clean how do i keep it from coming back?
