Hey guys I have setup my planted aquarium and it was going well until some green thread like stuff starting growing around the edges of my swords and giant vals. also it's around the the rocks and substrate. Currently i have my lights on for 12 hour 144w 6500kelvin daylighting on. I fertilize dialy with dupla 24 and add co2 every 2nd day approx 100ml of co2(sera plant care kit). water parameters are OK. Giants vals, 7 swords (3 amozons, 4 marble queen and one radican) the Vals are growing like crazy and the swords look like they growing jus fine but they got this stuff just growingaround every where and looks nasty. is there a fish that could possibly eat this mess or what can I do. i have 6 juv angels, 10 rummy nose tetras and one sailfin plec taking residence. I do 25% weekly water changes. and check parameters weekly and no abnormal readings so far. Help please

water parameters are OK.

Need exact numbers. Ones man's ok is anothers........

Sorry not familiar with either the Dupla or Sera products.

More then likely a nutrient is lacking, Co2 would be included in nutrients.

Only Swords and Vals in the tank ? More plants always help.
