So,I know I madea thread on diatoms but now I would like to verify some things,and maybe get some solutions.
Here are some pictures.It seems I have three types of algae BBA(its a black algae that does not come off easily.Mostly on my staurogyne repens where they are right out in the light.IE middle of the tank where light is centered.)Diatoms(On mostly all my plants,not on glass or filter,sticks,rocks,just plants and sand.Comes off semi-easily,Kinda got to rub a little bit.)Hair algae,I think.(On everything to some extent except co2 diffuser and filter.)I also dirted the tank a couple weeks ago,Light durtion is 9 hours and 30 minutes.Light is 6500k 860 lumens bulb.White sand is substrate with dirt under it.So what could the issue be?Too many nutrients from dirt?Light too intense for the staurogyne?Whats the deal here,this is really stressing me out.Also should say I got diy co2 and does 0.8 mL of flourish each week along with my water change.
