Trouble with LS

[carrie1429]

Lately the bottom of my tank is turning very green, I have a large clean up crew, including a cucumber, but nobody is cleaning it. I cleaned it all up but it came back the next day. I asked the people at the pet store and they said there was nothing I could do. Does anybody know how to get rid of it for good? Any advice would be great. Thanx

It may be a number of things, maybe just part of the algae cycle, usually lasts a few weeks. You also might want to add a little more current toward your substrate or try feeding a little less. What are your nitrates reading? Do you test phosphates?

I'm guessing that this is a new tank.If so then it is a phase that most tanks go through.How old is this tank??What are the water readings??
