Default Weird Algae Help

"Ghazanfar Ghori" wrote in message et...
Manually remove as much as you can and increase your
nitrates. That should help getting rid of it. Its a relativly easy
algae to get rid of.

Ghori knows all this already
The genus is Compsopogon.
Generally appear where the NH4= NO2=NO3 cycle is weak. Too many
fish/too much food etc for the tank's plants to remove the NH4.

Any build up and you'll get algae blooms. Lots of light and it often
comes along as Green water, the next one is the species.
The NH4 is oten gone by the time you see the algae and test. It
doesn't take too much NH4 or for too long.
