Algae ID.

There are so many different types of thread algae, not much point worrying about which one this is. Dose easy carbo regularly, increase co2 and or flow. Clean out as much as you can by hand.If its a small tank do more water changes during the plant rest period.
 
hi,
looks like rhizo to me, and looking at james c's algae guide the cause is related to poor flow, lack of nutrients and co2 and general lack of maintenance. without trying to sound derogatory, looking at your intake strainer and glass panels, i would have a thorough clean up both inside and out, especially the filter and associated pipes to gain maximum flow, possibly lower the light intensity, up your ferts and overdose easycarbo fauna permitting!
cheers,
bazz!
 
Hmmmm poor flow :(. Im running a Tetratec 1200 and also a seio M620 power head, on a 96 litre tank. The filter has been cleaned, the intake will get a clean today and so will the glass. For co2 im running a inline diffuser at about 2 BPS. And for lighting its 2 x 39WHO T5 and a single 25w T8 .
Im not dosing anything at the mo and was thinking of buying the above.
Would this combo be ok ?.
