Although everything is covered in the brown algae from new tanks. It's now covering everything. So am going to get out the gravel vac to try and clear it and do a water change as there's a oily film on the surface.
There seems to be some black/brown thin algae (?) growing from the leaves of some plants now :?
Other than that, there's new crypt growth 🙂
I had the same problem in my tank, and I just followed the advice that "cegipedia" offered and its looking great now, and I didn't need to up the CO2, just needed to up the dosing and added Easycarbo (5ml per day in my tank by Georges recomendation), have at the link in my sig and then you can see the difference in just a week.Superman said:Looks like Oedogonium to me using those photos.
I've increased the CO2 and need to get a Co2 checker thingy.
Have a read of this article to get a better understanding and get the quantities required, I doubled the doses for my tank.Superman said:Thanks, I'll have a look at AE.
It's a 180 ltr tank.
