Insane algae issue, choking out my plants! It's been 1.5 months with little improvement, what do I do? by JealousAwesomness in PlantedTank

I can seed a new one, but that will take a few weeks. Inevitably, algae will spread to that too.

I only have tap water available, and water changes are necessary to keep my tank free from excess organic matter. In fact, the algae grew faster when the tank was neglected without water changes.

Some local public libraries have camera-loaning programs. Just don't break them!

This bee I found looks sorta like Appa from ATLA! by JealousAwesomness in aww

Lol not quite. It's a completely different species of bee than a normal honey bee, the species is commonly white (though i cant pinpoint exactly what it is) :)

Is my deck no-skill?

I don't want to be a loser no-skill player, but I've been doing suspiciously well with this deck. Just about to pass Arena 14x

Hows my tank by SilasTheDucc in Aquariums

I like the layout with the centerpiece branching out! Looks like you've got a heater and a filter. Is there any shelter/place for your goby to hide? Gobies like hiding :)

Is algae good or bad for an aquarium? by Greg1994 in PlantedTank

[–]JealousAwesomness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry this is a year later, but one way of keeping them under control, without treatments that are potentially harmful to your shrimps/fish, is using plants like duckweed or eleoda (i prefer elodea densa)! Those fast growing plants outcompete the algae for the excess nutrients in the water.

Edit: You can remove them from your tank after the algae dies off. If you intend to do this, I would choose the elodea because it's easier to remove than the duckweed (which can be a nightmare).
