A few weeks ago I added plant life to my tank and now I have a real mess! I put in a few strands of grape like plants and now the stuff is growing everywhere. It is stuck to my rocks and now I also have hair algea mixed in with it. I started with well water but I am now using RO/DI for top offs and water changes. My readings are:
ammonia 0
trites 0
trates 40 (plant life didn't help!)
ph is still high but dropping with the RO/DI water
CA at 450
I am using De-Nitrate chips in my filter (Just put in yesterday)
I only have a CB shrimp
3 peppermint shrimp
1 horseshoe crab
1 arrow crab
and a huge hermit crab that is going to town on the hair algea.
What can I do to get rid of the grape stuff. I keep trying to pull it out but like I said it is stuck in the LR. Thanks
