hey-
in my fish tank, i have 3 plants: 2 amazon swords and an anubias barteri attached to lava rock. the filter is my own. fish are: 2 mated jewels (about 3" apiece).
lighting is a 15 watt sun glow flurescent lamp.
i read that the algae could happen due to oxygen deficeincy so i attached the oxygen line to the powerhead and have it going full blast. the water did not smell normal before the hookup.
now the after the oxygen line has been running it does smell cleaner. why is that?
also, what other tips can you guys give for fending off the algae? the algae is like only on the anubias plant and then only on a few leaves with very small amounts of growth on the edges of the leaves. i really done want to move the plant for cleaning.
thanks.
