ok... I have a planted tank with 2 filters (Aquaclear 300 and a Ehiem external filter) in my 60gal tank.
The plants have all these hairy algae growing on it. It's about 1cm long and grows around the edges of the leaves. I'm sure it's brush algae as i searched for it on google and it looks the same as mines.
I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of it...
I have 4x30W lights, but usually i only run 2 or 3 of them.
I leave my lights on for about 8-10hrs a day.
I clean my tank every week about 20% water change each time.
If anyone can help me get rid of this algae it would be great. Thnx
