Default Algae in a 5,2g tank

I have to say that i change 50% of water every 2 or 3 days.


You've run into an Americanism - you use a comma ',' where we use
a period '.' - 5.2 Gallon tank. We'd also probably ignore the .2
and call it five gallons.

50% water change per two days seems extreme. I'd feel pleased
with myself if I changed out 5% per day ( 1 litre ). I think
you want some stability to let the plants grow, rather than
keeping up a constant violent water quality change.

Perhaps a more experienced plant person would care to comment?
