Algae issue with my tanks

[pcfreak]

Hi All,

In one of my tank it is only brown algae which is rather easy to remove. after a brush with the sponge everything is nice and clean.

But my the other tank is now stop having brown algae and having those green and really hard to scrub of green algae.

What is the way yo remove these? The brush i got just cannot scrape then off.

Thanks for the help in advance :P

Regards,
Anthony

Hi JiaJuen,

You are spot on. though not very densely planted.

If you are still having problems with spot algae, you could increase c02 if any, increase plant load and ensure plants grow properly to use up excess nutrients.

Sometimes i use those magnetic scrubs, those you stick inside the tank. It takes of the algae after scrubbing a while, and you never need to put your hand in the tank =)
But the downside to this is it can scratch the glass sometimes
