Fish Fanatic
Hi Everyone,
I have just in the last couple of weeks setup my new 220ltr 4ft Planted tank. However I have a problem I didn't encounter with my standard Jewel Rekord 96 which was in the same place. I have designed it to be a high tech tank with roughly 110-125watts of lighting (T5 with reflectors) 2.6 watts per gallon and Co2 injection and the lights are on 10-11hrs a day. It has 3mm Gravel Subsrate with Tropica Planted Substrate underneath and is fairly well stocked with Plants and relatively lightly stocked with fish.
The problem is im starting to get lots of very fine hair like Algae floating in the water all over the tank making the water look a little green and the hair like Algae is on the glass/plants and decor. Why is ths happening??
