I have quite a few different types of algae in my tank.
I have brown algae on the glass, hair algae on a piece of lava rock i have, and BBA on the intakes of my HOB filters.
I see that all of the above have now migrated onto my plants and I'm wondering what would be the easiest way to clear it.
The plants I have are. Anacharis, java moss, ludwigia repens, Rotala 'Green, and one stem of Java Fern v. "Windelov" that has been taken over by brown algae. I really want this to survive being that I only have one stem (it was a freeby during a trade)
Here is the list of fish.
2 red eye tetra, 4 serpia tetra, 1 albino frog, 1 cory, 2 otto, 4 glo fish, 1 pleco(yea yea i know it'll get big)
I have read about using peroxide but i'm not sure how to do it. I have a 30gal tank. Do I just put the peroxide in a baby medicine squirter and squirt it on the plants? Will this harm the plants or fish? Also, do i have to dilute the peroxide with water before putting it in the tank?
Any help will be appreciated.
