No ferts for now during cycling. Will be using Aquarium Co-Ops all in one when done cycling.Algae, usually caused by new tanks and/or excess nutrients.
What fertilisers do you add in the tank? Water parameters?
What fish do you want to get for the tank? 80 F is too high for any fish.No ferts for now during cycling. Will be using Aquarium Co-Ops all in one when done cycling.
My ph is 8.0ish.
Temp is 80 degrees.
My ligbt is on about 9-10 hours a dsy. I might keep it off every second day or just decrease the time to 6 hours or so for now.
I did not know that, I honestly never did a fishless cycle, did only fish in.The fishless cycling method on here recommends a higher temp than when there are fish in the tank.

Algae is a sign of an imbalance in the tank. In new tanks brown algae is the most common, what you have on your plants is a form of hair algae which can kill plants.
And duck weed, if one is feeling adventurous and willing to let a plant/weed dictate ones lifeI agree with @utahfish Some good fast growing plants would be hornwort, moneywort, pennywort, frog bite, anacharis, and water sprite. I use these in my tanks. I have very little if any algae.
