Okay I want to know whats the best way to keep algae of the front glass of my 60 gal african cichlid tank?
It usually grows really quickly maybe 2or 3 days after I have cleaned it off with a sponge...I tried reducing the duration of the light to about 9-10 hours I try not to reduce it too much because I have some plants in the tank...I also tried reducing the amount that I feed the cichlids...I have even done large water changes...the last resort thing that I tried was adding Tetra Algae Control I Know I know what everone is going to say that I shouldnt add chemicals, but I did so get over it...I was desperate...because I had all types of algae growing everywhere it actually helped quite a bit....but the algae on the glass still grows quite rapidly...so if anyone has any suggestions...maybe a pleco or other algae eaters...or something else (phosphate remover).....
