I've been giving one of my tanks a much needed overhaul today, and noticed there appears to be quite a lot of algae on the inside of the glass. Details as follows...
- Dark green colour
- Pattern/distribution is similar to what you'd see with mould on cheese - small dense dots scattered around in proximity to each other
- Some present on front and sides of tank, significant quantity on the rear of the tank
- Tank has full length spraybar from rear to front
- Tank has Oto's, Amanos, and Red Cherries - don't appear to be controlling it.
- Dosing All in One ferts weekly
- Lighting is 2x T8, 5 hours a day
It does come off with scrubbing, but takes a fair amount of elbow grease!
Any thoughts welcome - is it probably just Green Spot?
Cheers.
