Tank specifications - 35l.
Lighting - 18w T5ho. 10hours a day
CO2 -DIY 1 bubble every second.. quite stable.. Overdosing Excel
Filtration - 1 external (150lph) 1 internal (200lph)
Fertilisation routine - E.I.
The pic prettymuch describes my problem.. My HC is being attacked by this algae.. It is only growing on the plant, the rocks and glass are all free from any algae (there is a bit of brown algae over some of the hardware but these are not mature filters). I have heard about excel dealing with algae so have tried putting half a capful in every day, I have noticed in this time the threads have turned brown but i still cannot remove it as doing so uproots the HC..
Would a blackout for a few days help? Getting a bit annoyed with it now
