ickky plants

To remove it you can just remove the leaves or you can try to pull it off the leaves but I have had better luck just removing the leaves.

As for light, I don't really know if you need more or less light or if you need to increase or decrease your ferts. How long are you leaving them on for now? Someone with more experience will need to step in.

Here is a link to a good article on SAEs

what is a fert??
the lights are normally on about 15hrs a day
 
Ferts=Fertilizers

Here is a website that further explains ferts and gives approximate dosing amounts for different tanks sizes. It is a great place to start.

And most people keep lights on anywhere from 9 to 12 hours a day.
