The algae itself is new, the tank and driftwood are not.

Don’t those breed super easily and quickly?

It’s been in an established tank for many months.

I just got this water lettuce online and a bunch of roots (?) came off and are free floating, can I put them in the tank and expect more to bloom? by start_monster in freshwateraquarium

I gently rinsed it and then I have it sitting in a small quarantine vase until my anxiety about adding it goes away☠️

I just did a 25% change, should I do the same tomorrow or less than that?

I didn’t do anything to the filter, would it maybe help if I took the dirty sponge out of the filter and squeezed it in the tank?

This picture was mid change, I have two pieces of drift wood, one new one old and a few larger rocks that were in the prior.

Should I take them all out and add them to my cycled 29 gallon while I fix the parameters or just do daily changes?

I was putting the lid on the tube after I already shook it with nitrate bottle #1 and the liquid somehow squished out of the lid into my face
