I have a well stocked year old 125l tank with just sand substrate and 15 recently added plants which are a mix of crypts, java fern, anubias, swords, rotalia, cabomba and ludwigia peruviana. Lights are 2 X 20watt t8 and 1 Arcadia stretch 24watt led. I'm adding JBL ferropol weekly and 2 ml dennerle carbo elixir a day and I've added JBL and dennerle root balls and tropica root capsules. 50% weekly water change. Nitrates are around 20-40ppm phosphate is 4ppm. Most plants growing with a bit of melting and some dying leaves which would have thought expect ed as they settle in, but I'm getting what looks like staghorn algae.
Not sure what to do.
Either reduce light? (which I thought was low light already)
Add more nitrogen/phosphate? (but tap water is 2ppm phosphate and plenty of nitrates in tank from fish)
Add more or less liquid co2?
Or something else..?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
