Right well Im guessing it isnt my lighting as I have about 2.8Wpg but i started off with the standard lghting which was just over 1wpg and I was getting the algae I know that you have to manually remove it but after i do that it grows back within a few days its on the plant leaves which looks disgusting. If it was just on the tank sides and maybe the gravel it wouldnt bother me so much.
My thoughts at the moment are that the plants I have in there were not doing well because of the low ish light and they then got the algae partly because of the low light and they wernt doing well.
If I replace these plants will this keep the algae off them?
ShouldI put plant food in the water aswell or will that mean the algae grows quicker too?
