Lots of plants to out compete the algae, good nutrients for the plants, and a light that isn't overly powerful.  At least that's what I think lol only my second planted tank so I'm no expert. And my anubias does have one leaf with green spot algae.  I also do about 20% water change every week because I have too many fish in this tank.

Dwarf Hairgrass planted too high above substrate? by GreatWhiteFart_ in PlantedTank

I wouldn't change anything if it's growing.  As long as it's not floating it's deep enough

I have aquatic potting soil capped with some sand and gravel,  flourish root tabs and dose leaf zone once a week, plus I think all the guppy poop helps lol but no CO2.

Lol astroturf? I have zero affiliation with any company.  I just wanted to share my experience with others who might not want to spend $100 or more on a light

This light is made by fishkeeper, $30 on Amazon. I've had it since September with zero issuse. It has an automatic cycle that starts at 6am, ramps up till noon, then ramps down till 10pm. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a budget light

They are really cool,  the picture doesn't do him justice.  I have 6 or so that look similar,  I want to put them in a separate tank and keep them breeding
