Well not really, noticed yesterday a little bit of BBA and some green spot algae (might be green dust algae) on the root in my main tank. Nothing I'm really concerned with since the tank is going to be on a soft black out next week when I go on holiday anyways.
When I get back I'll knock the photoperiod back down to 6 hours, double check the co2 levels on lights on, keep up full EI dosage, dreadage out the old catappa leaves, do a nice clean. make sure the lass keeps to the 30 second feed rule, blah blah blah.
Now I'm just wondering if a bit of algea on the hardscape is that big a deal? Plants all seem pretty healthy, bit of GSA on the anubias but apart from that. I kind of think that the algae weathers the hardscape a bit, what would happen if I leave it on there, would it start spreading to everything else? killing the plants? ruining my tank?
Can algae be part of a balanced tank?
