Ok, so how do you do this? Stats first? OK:
20 gal undergravel filter and a Aqua Clear 150 22 fish and maybe snails as the 2 clowns just love to dig a hole, rock by rock to eat something? Really nice bright salmon colored ones, and their fins are brillant and the black is dark black. mm, lets see, if 1" per gallon, I am over stocked to 25" (?) ok, wait I must need a breakdown, 11 neons' 3 heaDLIGHTS, oops 3 black skirt tetras' 2 albino catfish (who insist onlaying eggs) 1 1"opihi pleco (i love its dancing algae feasting) 1 4" clown & 1 3" clown Yikes! my question only was this is a 3 yr old tank and I added some fert for my plants and am plaqued with the hairy algae! Hints please? I have this Algae killer but its old and doesn't seem to help |

How many hours a day do you have the lights on? How many watts per gallon? Hairy algae can be a real bugger. My 75 gallon had a bad case. I replaced every plant that had any on it and removed gravel that it was growing on. I only bought low light plants as I then found my lights "watts per gallon" was less than 2 wpg. I filled the bottom of the tank with the new low light plants, cut my hours per day of lighting to 12 hours per day. |
