Here are pics of my 55 gal tank and the African Fern that is growing some lovely fur. Actually a lot of the plants are getting this.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
NitrAte: Closer to 10 than 20 on the color chart
Lighting: 2x40w Zoo Med Ultra Sun bulbs
Filter: 1 Penguin 330
Ferts: Root tabs and Fluorish (when I remember)
I do weekly maintenance. Changing around 15 gals. each week. The only algae eaters I have are 3 otos. And they don't seem to crazy about it.
Is this fuzz algae or something more sinister? What is the best way to get rid of this and prevent it from coming back? More otos? SAE's if I can find any?
I wanted to get bristlenoses but, I have a rather large S. Eupterus in there.
I'm new at planted tanks so I welcome any and all help/comments!
Thanks, Jan
P.S. I'm also getting alot of green algae on the glass.
