Please help!
I am getting towards the end of the fishless cycles of my 2 tanks: Juwel Rekord 60 and Juwel Rekord 70 (both with 4-5 live plants in them and standard lights)-
and they are covered in brown algae. The gravel in particular but it's spreading to the plants. I have heard that this is a new tank problem.
What can I do? I won't have room for a pleco in those small tanks and I don't think my lfs sells otos.
Also, should I be feeding the plants by now? (Have an assortment of plants including java fern and water wisteria.)
