Hi all,
I have just noticed that my discus tank has started to get some very long strands ( 4 - 5+") of fine green hair algae. It is manageable but a real pain as usual.
I cant work out what is the cause. Lighting is low, only T5s for 7.5hrs/day, co2 is at a high level and i am dosing as usual, nothing has changed in the setup recently either. Dosing step 3 and brighty k still, i am thinking of stopping the step ferts and see what happens? Never had this type before and i have had plenty of algae
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
James
