Hi,
I have a 18'x10'x10 open top tank iwagumi style with eleocharis acicularis, hemianthus callitrichoides, and some blyxa japonia, 18 ember tetras, approx 30 litres, the filter is an external eheim ecco 130 turning over 500lph, lighting is TMC aqua beam 500 duo reef white 8 hour period, pressurised co2 2bps 25ppm, temp 24 degrees c, ph 6.9, dose 1ml tropica nutrition plus daily, 50% water change weekly. The system has been running for 4 months and everything has been growing well. A thin film has appeared on the surface recently so I moved the outlet pipe up to create more surface agitation to break it up. Can someone tell me what algae this is and how to eradicate it. Hope fully photo attached.
Thanks.
