Brown algae
I seem to have a brown algae issue…….its steming from the filter! I’ve got a pleco, but he can’t reach the filter and he’s not eating it off the plastic plants….I’m not sure how to get rid of it! I change 3- 4 gallons out of the 16g tank once a week and wipe off any brown algae with hot water and the tank designated scrubber… All the tests are within normal range…although I’ve just switched from the strips to the API master test kit, and I’m still getting used to using it… Anything I can do about the brown algae?? ( I know the pleco is going to outgrow the tank, but he’s only 3 or 4 inches long right now) there are also 4 platy and one african dwarf frog in this tank.
