I am not sure what type of algae this is or why I have it.. I have a low light tank, about 72 watts in a 55 gallon tank and I've been getting algae on one side wall of the tank as well as on all my plants.I don't have many plants, but there are little algae dots all along the edges of them. it is dots of green all over it. And it is on top of the pvc tube on the side that I use to empty water out. it is also so sort of weird smudgy brown/green algae on the side wall, not much but I can see it.
I change about 8-10 gallons of water about every 5 days, I put a capful of flourish every 4 or 5 days, I have two loaches, 1 betta, and 3 goldfish. Can anyone tell me what I need to change to get rid of the algae? I know I can scrape it off but something is wrong here there shouldn't be algae.. also how would I get it off my plants? thanks
