Hi,

I am from India and new to planted tank. I am having my 4'/1.5'/1.5' tank with laterite as a base substrate. 4 Philips truelight 40 watt 4' tube attached to a DIYhood, Presurrised CO2 , PMDD as ferts..

The tank is 4 weeks old now. and all the hygrophilla, java fern, vals are doing perfectly well.

Recently I noticed green hair algea on christmass moss and it is going rapidly. I am not having SAEs or OTOs because those are not availble in my local LFS.

I tried to pull out some algae but the moss are comming with also.

Can anybody tell me what should be the best option to remove this from the tank ?

regards

Check your CO2 levels and make absolutely sure you have 30ppm.

You may have to pull most of your moss out to get the algae removed by hand. Also make sure that your N03/P04 are in-balance with each other (exp: N03/10ppm & P04/0.4ppm) and C02 is between 20-30ppm. Shrimp make great hair algae eaters...Amano's, Cherrys, Tigers.
