Hi i i have a small fluval spec with a betta in there and i dose with 5 drops of flourish excell daily but the algae was already there bofore that, the algae looks like a thick layer or dusk and its a brown colour not very hairy just looks dirty any ideas ? standard spec light on from 10-6



thanks Dean
 
yeah i recently put the betta in there but the tank been set up with plants for months, when i re aranged it i tryed wiping off the leaves but its seems to be back already
googled it and it does look like it in some pics how do i get rid ?
thanks for repply
 
just read that they eat nitrates and i have just finished fishless cycling so when my betta settles in and tank stables hopefully will clear

thanks
 
Just have to wait and see mate. It will hopefully clear when the filter properly matures with the betta in there.
Good luck with it, hope it clears up soon.

Hi Deano,
i have a spec with anubias and betta and early on i also had brown algae on the leaves of my anubias. Keep wiping it off before a water change and when the tank matures (as you said) it will dissappear.
Incidentally in this tank there is only an anubias, no other plants, but i dont dose anything, just water changes, its doing fine theyre hardy little plants!
Ady.
