Green algae on leaves
Hi all,
Recently, I noticed an increase in the algae growth on the leaves of my stem and other broader leaves plants, like my ludwigia repens, lotuses, anubias nanas and some echinodorus. Algae growth on the tank surface is still managable, thanks to the algae crew I have in the tank. Can anyone tell me why is there an increase in the growth of algae on the leaves of my plants and how do i rid them? Cheers Vincent |
Green algae on leaves
chemicals out of balance, or your lighting is getting old... I'm here to
tell ya... My lights got bad, I ignored 'em... eventually ended up with BBA, Black Brush Algae... ugly, and hard to get rid of... new lights, good water, ferts, and it's lessening...

Curious, my lighting is one year old. I had Black Hair Algae, lots of
it. I changed out the plants that were the worst and added new low light plants in heavy density and shortened the number of hours the lights were on by a couple of hours a day. No more BHA. I have green and brown algae on the underside of the glass panels where the air bubbler spashes water and close to the lights. Less light, no water splash, no algae. I figure adding low light plants and lots of them took up more nutrients that the BHA was using and starved it.
