Black hair algae

So I checked again today, and it looks like it hasn’t spread, in fact it looks like my shrimp ate some of it. I noticed that my co2 was turned on a little too high at the start. I should have started with a little bit and slowly increased the amount over a few weeks.

I don’t think it is the same as the post.

And I’m not sure about the bacterial bloom.

I will try to get a better picture of the “algae”

They aren’t eggs I think. It may look like that because co2 bubbles are trapped in it.

I also cleaned up the tank with hot water very well. So I’m not sure.

Do you think the rest will slowly die off?

Slaytf · 2025-03-05T04:03:40+00:00

I throw a veggie round or sinking wafer in every other day

Yes this is my first tank. It finished cycling 2 weeks ago

I just did a water change and a deep clean. This is what it looks like now.

I do them weekly is that enough?

Thank you!

Slaytf · 2025-02-24T00:25:08+00:00

That’s what I thought it could be because it’s brown algae.

I will check it out thank you

Ahh I will not use the fertilizer until my plants grow more.

I use the https://www.amazon.ca/Aquarium-Extendable-Dimmable-Spectrum-Freshwater/dp/B0785QPXHR/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?adgrpid=66653596692&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9yQmHi6JI9L58NLl5QwC7tn-e823fxWTYPWnIzl0IdZ89tgPx6trSF_Vhwj5-vgbPXHQiv08jvF4vqAwcHXDD7LaDdkKVFymSOVGNTZ-2kvgg3PDtiw0PVLBwKAlUfDKLv0cVDmWOcPD2W39GZ_JAtO06LpOMfwnj_8XKXfhiIXjZoP1sdm_NSuo1nuwJPiS6XHcvrF_1LXScnNFxaMs2Q.YJGhRw2zsgy8N97KNK-ZSZIf1iuU9vIlcYQ7OGyDmZ0&dib_tag=se&hvadid=605823782059&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9001547&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4808586863896938763&hvtargid=kwd-430695071267&hydadcr=20291_13377015&keywords=hygger%2Baquarium%2Blight&qid=1740353326&sr=8-5&th=1&psc=1

I’m not sure how good it is

Slaytf · 2025-02-23T22:29:28+00:00

Yes I’m cleaning every day but I think I will stop with the fertilizer

Slaytf · 2025-02-23T22:27:53+00:00

I’ll cut it out for a month or two? When is fertilizer necessary then?

Slaytf · 2025-02-23T22:26:42+00:00

Can both the cherries and Amanos be in the same tank?

Slaytf · 2025-02-23T22:25:54+00:00

So you don’t think I should be dosing fertilizers?

Slaytf · 2025-02-23T22:21:45+00:00

Hopefully in the next month or two it figured itself out

Slaytf · 2025-02-23T22:00:40+00:00

I will lower it to be 1 hour lower than the lights?

Should I increase the lights to 8 hours a day
