having algea problems....

joem1cha3l · 06/30/2008, 02:36 PM

Just cleaned my glass yesterday, came home from work today and there is another layer of green film on the glass. Just ran the magnet across it to clear it up again. Will a water change help this? Or do I need a larger/better clean up crew. Im also growing some green hair like algea off the back of my LR.

you probably just have too many nutrients/phosphates in your water.

try doing more water changes, feed less, skim harder.
