Hi Guys,
So this tank has been going about 3 months now, 91 litres, 6 Danio, 3 Striata loaches and 4 little catfish, random plants from animates in the back corner and some sort of sword in the front (a couple of little "crypt'?s that have been munched somewhat). Water chemistry fine, religiously change approx 30% of the water weekly, filtration = Aqua one hang on 500L/hr. Lighting = a 30 cm UV tube and a 60cm strip light that doesn't give off as much light as I would like.
Ever since I started this tank the water has been cloudy, I did my research and figured it was just the driftwood (from HFF), but now it seems the problem is getting worse and you can see from the photo's that the plants are covered in a furry algae.
I would love to have crystal clear water in this tank, but don't really know what I'm doing wrong... the only thing I can think off is that I don't have enough light? but thought I'd ask you guys before going and buying expensive new lights...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FNZAS keeps saying my pics are too big so here are some direct links:
