Hi,
I have a bad hair algae problem in my tank. I don't have a very good understanding of what type of balance/imbalance algae needs to survive. Heres my little tank setup:
When I add plants, for some reason my algae seems to grow even qucicker if that makes any sense. What do you suggest I do to limit the growth of algae?
I have a bad hair algae problem in my tank. I don't have a very good understanding of what type of balance/imbalance algae needs to survive. Heres my little tank setup:
- 10 gallon tank
- 2x13W flourecent bulbs (its pretty bright)
- Fish- 2 ottos, 3 small zebra danios and 2 snails
- Cleaning routine- 30% water change, gravel cleaning and algae scrubbing once a week
- Filter- Top Fin 10 "hang-on" style filter with carbon in the media
- No plants
When I add plants, for some reason my algae seems to grow even qucicker if that makes any sense. What do you suggest I do to limit the growth of algae?
