right, have you tested for nitrate as this is a big cause of algae, also how long has your tank been set up? if its new then tanks often have this bloom in its early stages. |

i nhave just checked it again and it is on 50 getting a dark reddy colour my tank is 2x2x7 how do i get this nitrate down |

what sorta fish ya got in tank,how often/much do ya feed,how regular are ya water changes,do ya syphon gravel/sand?all these can affect nitrates,also do you use ceramic tubes in ya filter as these can be nitrate factories if not rinsed out on a regular basis, any chance theres decaying food/plants trapped anywhere |
