I I've thought about getting those snails but last time I kept pond snails they overproduced and I had to eventually get rid of them. I dont feel like having an infestation of snails again. Do thinking a good cleaning of my driftwood would help?

I have 3 nerite snails but they are nocturnal and seem to not do much cleaning

I was thinking about taking the driftwood out and giving it a good cleaning would that be good?

Also do you think I should add a bristlenose pleco? I heard they help with biofilm and since I'm not keeping a malted pair of apistogrammas I'm thinking it would be good

I do use the seachem root tabs and funny story I have actually had them leach out into my water column and it caused a huge mess. I also have a dirtied tank so I use them sparingly

I used seachem flourish but stopped after I saw this algae. And yes it is slimy and has killed the java moss that it touched.

Light I standard with the rank and I'm trying to get duckweed and amazon frogbit

Black background along with blacked out sides so no sun light. I also changed my light lact night from 12 to 10 hours hoping that would help. I do about a 25 percent water change ever 3 or 4 days

Pictures of what is on the drift wood. Its killing the java moss on my driftwood

I currently have 1 apistogramma bitaeniata male along with 9 black neon tetras, 6 julii cory catfish, and 10 or so ghost shrimp in a 29 gallon. Is this tank understocked. I would like to add about 5 otocinclus because I'm getting a bad algae problem and I have the good bacteria on my driftwood...

I believe to have solved this. An improperly place root tab.

I don't believe it is fish waste and I did a 75 percent water change today and I vacuum most of it but within a day it comes back
