Hi
I have a fairly well planted tank that up until last week had been fairly well balanced.
Then I started to get an algae bloom. Brown/Green algae covering much of the left hand side of the tank.
When I did my tank clean I did find that the outlet for CO2 was prety much blocked with yeast deposits.
I am also worried about the WPG is not enough, but after searching around I can't find 90cm tubes over 30watts.
I also re housed a 8" Common Plec and 3 Clown Loaches just prior to the algae bloom.
Any advice apprecieated, I've got soooo much to learn and have read soooo much my head hurts
Cheers time
