Hey No.1 Jasper,

I think it will be easier for algae nuts on here to decifer your problem if you give us a little bit more info about you tank.

From what I've read about planted tanks [as I'm currently battling the algae away from my planted tank] you need to have sufficient lighting to counter-act the Co2 - otherwise you'll be feeding the algae rather than giving the plants a balance of everything they need - as algae isn't as demanding of a balanced diet.

Paul.

Yeh chuck us some more info on the tank, the more the better. If you could post a pic of the algae too, that would help as there are many kinds and treatment depends on the type you have.
