algae all over
Is it really necessary to have a CO2 generator?
" wrote: You might want to focus on the plant's needs. You started down the path there with adding more/enough light. Now if you add CO2 and nutrients then you'll get plant growth and no algae. If the plants don't grow, algae will. When the plants grow, algae does not. Plants need three basic things:light, CO2 and nutrients. Give them these and the tank will do well. Any plant will do. But as Leigh mention's, more is better and a nice dense plant tank looks good also. Don't expect algae eaters to do much more than minor detail of algae control. Apple snails will eat plants and most snails will eat dying or dead plant material. You might want to start on www.thekrib.com and read over some general planted tank tenents or various archives on forums etc. Most folks are totally amazed when they learn how to grow plants.
