Pepere Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I find adding some phosphorus helps clear up green dust algae on plants. I usually get it on Anubias. In case of Anubias if you can shade the anubias from high light that can help as well… your nitrates also strike me as quite low. Which Seachem fertilizer are you using?

SDROBBIEFISH Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 I'm using basically all seachem ferts without seachem advance. I'm doing about 30%water change every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDROBBIEFISH Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Could be having zero nitrates cause green dust algae? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepere Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 No, but it is going to stunt plant growth. low phosphorous can cause it. And high light on Anubias can cause itto grow on Anubias… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
