henward Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I am not a planted tank man untill my gf asked to have cute pretty fish. now i like them, Traditionally an MFK, my usual rocks, wood and gravel set ups are easy i have a planted tank, the platns were thriving, still kinda is, but problem si that the leaves get a grown layer on them -algae probably, they are alive, and leaves are nto chipped and broken, but not as green. i see set ups where the tanks are so green and colourfull mine gets a coeating on the leaves. how does one prevent that? is that algae? poo? do i fertilise too much (one capfull of liquid fertiliser per week - which is 80% of the dosage) cos i have plenty of fish and im sure the poo is part of the fertiliser they need. any advice?

Faran Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Try Flourish Excel. It'll help the plants use the nutrients instead of the algae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
