Hi everyone,
I have what I would describe as a failry low light tank growing a range of plants including Buce, S. Repens, Hydrocotyle Tripartita, java fern titan and hygrophilia. It started life as a no CO2 tank but as i added S. repens (my absoulte nemesis) I added a simple in tank diffuser and pressureised CO2 system.
As my tank is low light (about as low as i can get it) my plants grow very slowly which im happy with. The issue is that because leaves essentially sit there for months and dont need trimming, over time they attract a small amount of algea. Turning down my lights isnt really an option (theyre on 9%).
Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove this algae from the leaves? Ive tried rubbing it with no luck. I'd describe it as small singular green/brown hairs. Its barely visable currently but i dont want to give it a chance!
Cheers!
Keith
