Hi all.
I'm getting and brown/green in colour algae on my rocks,stones and sand, the plants look fine and are growing well. I've tryed to look up what kind it is but I'm not sure what one it is and if it's just because it's and new tank (5 1/2 weeks old).
Can anyone help or spot something I've got wrong please.
Tank juwell lido 120l
Lighting is what comes with the tank which uses twin LED bulbs - juwell LED day 9000k 12w and a Juwell LED nature 6500k 12w ( the LED day in at the back). Lighting is on for 8hrs per day.
Filter is a fluval 307 external.
Pressured Co2 with Co2 art regulator and a Co2 art inline defuser. Co2 come on 2hrs before lights and turns off 1 hr before the lights turn off. I've always got a lime green colour on the bubble.
Currently doing 70% water changes twice a week with a good vacuum over the sand to remove top layer.
Ferts - The 2hr aquarist APT3 complete fertiliser dosing 4ml per day.
Easy-life easycarbo 2ml per day.
Tropical aquarium soil.
ADA La plata sand.
ADA aqua gravel.
plants - Rotala rotundifolia,
Hemianthus micranthemoides,
Eleocharis montevidensis,
Blyxa japonica,
Staurogyne repens,
Cryptocoryne nevelli,
Bucephalandra green velvet
Microsorum pteropus,
Cryptocoryne Parva.
I cant think of any other details I could give.
