Hello,
I am looking for some help with my tank. I have a 46g bow front tank with T5 lighting (2bulbs) It is heavily planted, but the plants have a very fine hair algae growing on them. No real colour to it just a fine hair growing on all my plants.
PH 7.5, NH3- 0, No3-0, No2-0, carbonate hardness 6-7d. Water is crystal clear, Fluorite substrate, DIY C02, lights on for 9hrs a day, air stones on at night, water temp 23-25 degrees. Weekly cleaning and 20% water changes.
I am only fertilizing one a week with Flourish. Plants continue to grow, but any new growth with start to grow this fine hair algae.
I have not tried Flourish Excel, i had a bad experience with it once (melted most of my plants) and have not used it in a year.
It is extremely frustrating with all my plants are covered in hair.
I am open to any thoughts and suggestions.
Thanks
