Hey guys,
So got busy with the life and what not and for the last 1 1/2 months I didn’t do any maintenance on my tank. Been having this tank as such for 4 years with plants, rainbows and all the good stuff.
My wisteria took over the entire aquarium. So I did remove 80% of it, cleaned the glass and remove 50% of water, cleaned both of my canister filters. That is when I noticed some strange algae on my Anubias, water heaters, and intake pipe. Pretty much everything that is growing
Needles to say by doing all this my Ammonia got spiked so I am dealing with that trying to keep it under control and all that. Haven’t been feeding my fish the entire day. Will probably not feed them tomorrow as well until everything gets back to normal. But I have two questions for you who may help me.
1. Why do I have some small bibles on the top of the water that don’t go away? Yes I am using air pump for the last 7 years and I have never seen this before.
2. Can you ID this algae?
Also I should probably replace my T6 bulbs since I have 4 of them on my 55gal tank.
But yeah, there a number of things that went wrong, but until I get ammonia and Nitrate back in line I was wondering maybe you can help me with these two questions I have.
Thank you all ahead of the time.
