I am experiencing some hair algea growth aswell as diatoms on my Amazon Sword... I Have been using floursh comprehensive supplement for the planted aquarium about 2 mL a week, I dose 2 times a week about a mL each time... 10 1/2 hours of light, 10 hours the tank is cover with bubbler, about 3 1/2 hours the cover comes off.. for the plants and fish to wake up.. what am i doing wrong?
