I have several varieties of plants in my community aquarium of which I do not know their names without doing some research. It appears that my plants growth suffers due to some type of algae growth that covers 50% or greater of the plants leaves. In addition, this algae grows spuratically on the gravel.
What I am calling algae looks like very short hair and black in color. I use Sera A plant food and feed as described. The tank is 55 gallons with the original Aqueon hood lights. When I added the plants I also added a Corallife light bar that has two lights and sits directly on top of the tank. So I have a total of three lights on the tank.
I leave the lights on for 13 hours a day, they are all on a timer.
I believe that all the conditions that I have would work for these plants if I could just kill this stupid algae.
Thanks in advance for your comments!
