    Add some floating plants (frogbit, hornwort, red root floaters etc.) and lessen feeding to once a day (skip feeding at least a day or feed 5-6x a week) . Get some cleaning crew like Apple snails, Amano shrimps, Otos, Siamese algae eaters etc,. Lastly regular tank maintenance. Nice vid!

    I let them be on the floor and certain walls, to blend it with the aquascape.
    The front glass however is kept spotless.
    They are not that bad. Utilise Nitrates and give out Oxygen too.

    I have my planted tank in my living room. Its gets ambient light from windows from 10:00am - 17:00pm. I turn on my light at 16:00 - 22:00. I turn on my Co2 at 15:00 - 21:00. Tank is less than 2 months old. I now have slight brown algae(i think diatoms). How should i adjust my lighting and Co2 as i cant avoid the ambient light and i prefer my light on be on in the evening as this is my viewing time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

      Sounds like a tank getting into its cycle. It’s a struggle at first. If it’s unmanageable after a few months - I would look at your source water

    Because diatoms only settle to the bottom, it is easy to clean up a brown algae problem; No need to clean. This type of algae does not adhere strongly to tank surfaces and can be easily wiped off. Simply wipe down any decorations that may have been affected by the tank, wipe down all surfaces inside the tank, and then vacuum the gravel.

    • @AquariumStoreDepot
      @AquariumStoreDepot  Рік тому +1

      Yes, that's correct. It's one of the easiest nuisances to deal with. It's also one of the most talked about.

    • @AquariumStoreDepot
      @AquariumStoreDepot  4 місяці тому +2

      If it’s just in your filter we call that filter muck. It’s actually not bad to have - it’s consuming nutrients. Just clean on your usual schedule. If everything is good I would worry about it

    If your tank decorations are coated with brown algae, soaking them in a bleach solution every few weeks will help. They'll need to be rinsed thoroughly with water or soaked in water for a few hours to neutralize the bleach before putting them back in the tank.
