Hi guys,


I have an established 2.5 gallon tank, that currently has 10 fish in
it, no bigger than 2 inches each. I am wondering what I can do to
control my algae problem. I currently have an 18 watt light on top of
it with no live plants. Any help would be appreciated.


do you have a nitrate kit do you have any test kits ph nitrate ect
sounds like too many fish not enought water changes or could be
feeding to much or high phosphate, is it near a window how long is the
light on per day. sorry for so many questions but there could be a lot
of reasons.
algae needs somthing to feed on so somthing is feeding it, real
plants can take up a lot of nutragents ( if thats how you spell it )
and there is a lot of discussion abot having high phosphate to feed
the plants and that will reduce the level and also feed the plants.
hope this might help a bit

yourself yet you need help or someone else to dump your account.get a
clue idiot!
