Our 20 gallon aquarium is covered in light, fluffy brown spots that must be algae. I can't find anything about them though--my oto (of 1 week) doesn't seem to eat it, and it sits on all my leaves, weighing them down and preventing photosynthesis.
Then there's the long wispy threads, some green, some gray-transparent, that cling to my favourite plant and choke its lower leaves. I think it's two different kinds, because the light green comes off wound around a toothpick but the gray is just too thin for it.
If I read correctly: CO2 will help with the gray algae? Ours was off for a time. pH 7.4, KH 3.5, Ammonia 0.1 and probably about to climb (lots of new fish), hopefully CO2 will slowly send the water into the acidic range.
Any advice? We've only had this tank for 6 weeks. Thanks!
