I am not sure but my fissedens is covered in a barely visible thin strand of algae I think, originally thought it was the plant growing as each fillement in on each tip of the fissedens, seems a single strand for every leaf.
Its kinda a low tech tank (3.5w LED Light, tank is in sig) I havent dosed until the last 3-4 weeks of anything, managed to get some API Leaf and Seachem Phospherous, and have been dosing according to dosage twice a week. As its just laying about.
Its a 14l Nano too so isnt massive. now I have easy carbo and hear it can help, but as its low tech and a shrimp tank, i havent dosed anything like it, due to fear of affecting the shrimp.
There is no co2 and have no intention of adding in all honesty. But can add liquid carbon to deal with algae at this early stage if its safe for the inhabitants? I could remove the fissedens as its on mesh and hasnt really grown much. And treat it elsewhere in a tub or the likes on window sill for a few days?
The other cause I read is lack of flow, my flow is weak, I have a 210l p/h HOB but have to admit, flow isnt amazing, but in a shrimp tank, not sure if i would want to add any more? I though 210lph would have sufficed? if I removed the fissedens in question on mesh, and placed into a tank with high flow would it help?
At the moment it is barely visible, but with some squinting I can see it, so thinking whilst it is in its early stage be the best time to action? And only my fissedens seems affected at the moment.
