Hi everyone,
This is my first post... I have a new 29-gallon planted tank that's been up and running for 3 weeks now. It's not my first fish tank but it is my first planted and I need some advice...
A week and a half ago I got some java moss and tied it down to driftwood. Since then, the moss has been dying and decomposing. This past weekend I got some Seachem Flourish and started dosing the tank (I also have a CO2 system and ample lighting (95 W)). Some of the moss is attaching to the wood and starting to come back, but a lot of it is rotting and I'm concerned about the brown hair algae growth next to the moss.
I'm wondering whether I should remove the moss (and algae) altogether and try again when my tank is more established or keep going to see if the moss will come back?... or something in between? I don't have any algae eaters currently. Perhaps that would help? The current tank roster is 6 panda corys, 4 julie corys, 1 german ram with various plants and driftwood.
Thanks!
paul
