Add some fertilizer and light and wait..... Keep the UV on...


Hehe, as easy as that eh?

OK, what fertiliser would you recommend? I have some Leaf Zone that I

use in
my community tank - would that do?


yes


How much light? I have the standard 2x38w Juwel "Multilux" lamps in a

300
litre tank, on for 13 hours a day...more needed?


Direct sun would be great. 76 watts should be enough, but more is
better when it comes to algae.


TIA

The formula that works for me is to try your hardest to eliminate Algae.
The more your scrape and futz with the lights, and pick stuff off, the
better it seems to grow....

I wouldn't worry too much about it. The algae will come back, PERIOD.
Don't do anything special, or you may end up with green water, or something
equally annoying.
