Ok, so I've had my 72g bowfront running for about a year and a half now and I've managed to avoid any real algae problems. The biggest issue I'm having is the algae that grows on the glass. I bought this scouring pad on a stick and it's quite difficult to get off....I could live with that, but it grows back within the week. Here's my setup:
72g bowfront
3/4 eco complete
1/4 pool filter sand (split setup)
Lots of narrow leaf java fern and a some patches of moss sprinkled about.
No ferts (except once in a blue moon, when I feel bad for the plants)
No CO2
130w of Coralife light (I believe 6000k)
Rena Filstar xp3
I feed the fish about once every 3-4 days. I also have a bunch of Amano shrimp in the tank.
What is the easiest and longest lasting solution to get rid of the algae.
Help me out please.
Tanks a lot! (cheesy, I know)
