alge problem

its a common. i really didn't want to get it cause they get to big and are messy, but i needed to do something about the algae. i know once its full grown it will be way to big for my tank. but that will be a few months. and im sure ill be able to find it a nice home.
 
most likely ill get a new light. the lfs was out of rubber plecos until tuesday and they werent sure they'd get any. and by the way do u know anything about fiddler crabs.the guy told me they don't need to come out of the water and i just read they need access to land and can't stay in a community tank?
 
Just leave the lights on for 12 hours, no more. Start dosing with flourish excel that will help with the red brown hair algae. Go and read some of the stickys on the plant board.
