My tank has been running for about 2.5 weeks now (after some on and off false starts with substrate I chose to change).
Now I have started putting plants in I am finding I am getting some kind of grey Algae as pictured. Please help. I have detailed the salient points below. ALSO One of the leaves of my Crinum (sorry Luis, hope I am not killing your lovely plant) is dying and some of the others look like they are starting to discolour on the outer edges.
Tank 175l
Tank dimensions 80cm x 45cm x 55cmH
Substrate 1.4cm Colombo Florabase under 6cm Unipac Samoa sand
Lighting 2 x 24w T5, one pinkish one whitish
Photo period 6 hours a day
Ferts: started TPN+ 3 days ago, 4ml per day, Easycarbo 4ml daily
The wood did grow some white stuff which I have cleaned off twice now. Oh , and since putting in LFS plants (which admittedly looked healthy) I have some hitchikers in the form of tiny snails which are annoying the bejesus out of me. How do I get rid of them ?
