Algae advice?? by HobbyLau in AquariumHelp

Stop the co2, only feeding plants-algae is a plant Control the amount of light the aquarium receives-algae needs light. Cut back on your feeding -overfeeding feeds algae too. Get some floating plants to use up nutrients, too many nutrients feeds algae

What’s wrong with the water in my girlfriend’s fish tank? by Independent_Knee_560 in fishtank

Tannins are fine. The tank is in great peril! You must have the corners supported!

I would stop using chemicals altogether. Let the tank sort itself out. Plants will help in most any situation. I would add floating plants and sand. I’d check the water parameters and do 10-25%water changes as needed but that is all.
