I constantly have brown algae on my bacopa. My bacopa is growing beautifully and healthy... but the algae really takes away from the look. I also have java fern which has been there just as long but no algae on those... and newly added anubias and no algae those those either.
I read that this is normal for newish or lowly lit tanks... but I'm not sure this is the case... anyhow... all my stats...
I have a 24 gallon tank with a 30 inch Arcadia Freshwater Lamp bulb and the light is on from about 6:30am until 7pm. It is my brightest tank.
Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0 and Nitrate 10. My tank has been running for 7 months.
The thing is... I have all the same plants in my 60 litre tank which has an Interpret light bulb (not sure the exact specifics of the bulb) and its not as bright... and no algae on the plants at all.
I also have a small 12 litre shrimp tank with hygrophilia polysperma and lit with a 8w desk lamp and no algae there either (at all on anything).
Is there any way I can improve things to get rid of the brown algae on the plants? I do not have CO2, I've chosen easy to grow plants for that reason.
