I really need to get rid of some hair algae growing on the driftwood and
plants. Right now I'm controlling it by removing infected leaves, scrubbing
driftwood etc. I have a 15 gallon aquarium, do weekly 25 percent water
changes, 0 phospates, 0 nitrates, adding only iron and trace elements to the
water, only a couple measely plants--I've just added C02 a few days ago and
I will be adding tons more plants. Will the addition of more plants severely
out-compete the algae? I have 2 corys, 3 otos, and a beta fish. My tank is
too small for SAEs, I don't really like shrimp or snails, florida flag fish
can take chunks outa my plants, ameca splendens (butterfly goodieds) get to
big for the tank and might bully the beta...

please help?

Thanx!!
Dave.
