Green Algae

[devxfrye]

Hi,

Green spot algae (at least that's what I thought of it) are starting to form. Initially, I saw it on the diffuser, and very few on the tank walls and now, it shows on the sand as well.

Please advise on what can be done to stop it, or at least control.

Equipments:
Tank: 4 x 2 x 2
Light: 2 set T5HO 2 x 54W (8 hours (7am - 3pm) and 2 hours (8pm - 10pm)
CO2: 3bps (same as light, 30 minutes earlier)
Ferts: BorneoWild (Essense K, Lush and Vivid; following the recommended dosage for the tank size)
Plants: Most are stem plants, plus some amazon swords and just planted monte carlo

Thanks

Shorten the lighting period. Maybe altogether 8 hours. Not the current 10. Remove the last 2 hours if possible.

Gsa Commonly occur if there's Imbalance high light, co2 and phosphate. Direct sun facing might cause this too

Thanks. Will try to get phosphate test kit.

Although they add an effect to the rocks, I would like to have it control and avoid outbreak

Dosing more bacterial will work also.
