I’ve got some brown algae issues on my plants and a little on the glass of my tank.
I've been told on a fish forum on Facebook to cut down on ferts by 3/4 and do 2 20% water changes a week as it could be silicates in my tap water that are causing this issue.
Is this good advice? I’m not so sure!
Slowly but surely it’s starting to cover all the plants so I need to get it sorted
Tank is an Evolution Aqua 1200, 330 litres. Fluval FX4 filter with an eheim pre filter. Aquasky light on full spectrum for 6 hours every day, dosing tnc complete 15ml twice a week
Here’s a few pics of the problem
