Hi
have a bit of a problem
spent all this money fitting out my tank with nice plants and an extra light cause i thought that was causing the problem i had with brown algae, but it seems to have made a reapearence
it's forming on the glass again + i have strange like brown worm things "dead" starting to form on my rock again and also on the leaves of my plants. i cleaned my bio tubes in my filter the other day "in tank water" after finding it was the same in there but havn't cleaned the 2 x sponges in there as i thought it would maybe be too much if i cleaned the lot and cause it too re-cycle. also took the carbon out and since then i have like really fine particles floating around in my tank also, but b4 i did this the water was nice and clear ? looks like i will have to clean the sponges too, cause i'm thinking cause it is still active in my filter it is passing through to my tank. iv'e read to kill the brown algae i shouldn't use my lights @ all for 2-3 days ? do u think this is correct ? any advise appreciated. i'm very sad at the moment cause it was looking so nice
and to top it off my wildtype axie and golden have started to get a white fungus on them
so gonna do salt baths tonight... 2 teaspoons per Lt dechlorinated water for 10 mins right ?
here's a pic of the stuff on my rock "hoping it's just algae"
