KH is the Carbonates in the water e.g. CO3
So you will have magnesium to add to get the General Hardness good point

Looking at james planted website, the cause of it could either be low CO2 or too much mulm and dirty filter in the tank. The latter sounds very possible as I don't disturbed the substrate when I water change and further more the tank hasn't had a water change for ages.
The question is, if I vaccuum the substrate, will the algae go away on it's own or will I have to physically remove it? It's mostly on old leaves.... Initially it was only on alternathers leaves, now it's found on my crypt and bolbitis....Even on the filter intake. Would it be alright if I just clean the filter and not vaccuum the substrate as most of my foreground plant come off very easily if I disturb them.
