Hi everyone, I am so very new to this absolutely amazing hobby.
I have searched algae growth but no answers suit my tank - I assume advice is very specific to the tank set up. So here goes..
I have an algae problem!
I have a planted tank.
nitrate, nitrite, ammonia levels 0
I wipe the tank glass every day… Every. Chuffing. Day.
I have a 54l planted freshwater tank (got the tetra starter tank so got the filter and led light that came with it)
1 betta, 5 platys, 1 Corydora (don’t judge on the 1 Cory- that’s another story)
2 snails
led lamp on 12 hours a day. Which is the advice I’d researched online for a planted tank.
I asked advice in petsathome and the assistant advised only having the light on 4 hours (??)
The tank isn’t in direct sunlight but it is a well lit room.
thank you so much in advance for your help!
