Weird red algea?
Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2019 9:23 am
I've got a hillstream tank for quite some years now.
Including high flow and oxygen ofcourse.
But i've always got these ugly red algea on my rocks and plants.
I wouldn't mind it if it was green but red isn't really appealing.
The tank gets a waterchange every week for about 20% / 30%
The fish are doing fine and seem to enjoy the algea.
There's also some beard algea but thats not the biggest problem, my stiphodons love to graze in it.
And i could remove the rocks and clean them but the red algea would be back in about a couple of weeks.
Does anybody have an idea what this is or how i could make it more green?
Or does everybody got this in their tanks and do we need to live with it?
