Hi,
I'm an algae grower (as my title reads) and im finally starting to get some algae in my tank and I think it is rapidly building up. By the looks of it, it looks like green hair algae. I has been starting to cover my dwarf sag and my driftwood and java fern on it.
I replanted everything on my tank with the new DHG I got about 3 days ago ( Saturday ). So when I planted it, it basically had no algae. But when I replanted it I also changed my lighting and added DIY CO2 + root tabs underneath. I'm getting dry macro and micro ferts in the mail in a few days time.
So, I know my balance is not right at all since GHA is building so rapidly. What do you guys suggest I do to balance it right / get rid of the algae?
I was planning on reducing the photo period to 6 hours and spraying it with H2O2 very soon.
This is a relatively new tank. 1+ month in. Cycled.
Tank : 10 gallon
Lighting : 2 x 23 watt 6500k double desk lamp fixture (8-8.5 hours photo period)
DIY CO2
Root tabs
Flora
Dwarf Hair grass
Dwarf Sag
Java fern
Jungle val
Fauna:
5 Purple Harlequinn
1 zebra danio (moving him soon)
