Hi everyone,
Haven't had any significant algae in my first tank so far - but now after 9 weeks I'm getting some raised spots of algae on the crypts. It's on around the perimeter of some leaves too - see pic.
Does anyone recognise it and/or have thoughts on first course of action?
90cm x 45 x 45
Low tech
TNC complete according to instructions on pack
Circulation: will test actual flow rate asap, but I think it's fairly good - certainly at the top end of what the outlet can cope with. Tank is drilled: inlet and outlet at top of waterline, one at each end of the tank.
Light is 'Fluval Plant 3.0 45w LED' on for 8hrs per day at 33%
Livestock: about ten amanos, ten RCS and since yesterday 8 habrosus corys
Thanks!
Jack
