Default Help! My Green Algae Tank

|| Hi all,
||
|| I have a 10 gallons tank, with 7 Barb tetra. Green Algae is always a
|| big problem for me. It is everywhere in the tank. _ I tired many
|| different methods like having a couple of apple snails in my tank,
|| shrimps, plants or shorten the light exposure time. All of the above,
|| does't really work well _
|| Does anyone know how to solve the green algae problem?
|| I will be very thankful
||

You can google at length to find others and their solutions... Blackout the
tank, dose with ferts of KN03, or a UV Sterilizer.... they've all got mixed
results, cuz whatever and whenever it works, they never come back to report
success or failure...

I had it once... I did large water changes, lowered the time my lights were
on, down to 10hrs daily, and stopped feeding as much... Eventually I turned
off the lights for 4 days and with several water changes, it eventually went
away....

In your case, I'd watch how much you fed, turn the lights back to maximum
8hrs, do a water change here and there, and maybe just slow down and be
patient, somethings take time to show improvement...
