Hey guys,
This is my first planted tank and I am having lots of trouble with algae.
My set up is as follows
ADA 60F
ADA Amazonia soil
Pub bottle co2 with solenoid and regulator glass ceramics diffuser
Jbl cristlprofi e701 with Do!aqua lilly pipes
Lighting is an all pond solutions t5 above tank 4x24 w light unit (I only have two of the bulbs on)
The light are on a timer from 3 till 11 and the co2 comes on two hours before and goes off two hours before the light go out.
The drop checker is always a nice green.
I dose once a week with ADA Green Brighty step 1 and ADA Brighty K
Flora
hemianthus callitrichoides
Fauna
Chilli rasbora x10
Salt and pepper cory x5
I have at least two types of algea one is very stringy it's not bba luckily and the other is brown and growing on the glass I will upload some pictures.
The tank had been running for about four weeks now and whilst I am getting good growth from the Cuba, I am obviously doing something wrong, if anyone could correct me and tell me the right way it would be very welcome, also if you require any additional info just ask.
Below are the pictures of when first planted and the subsequent algae growth
