Freshwater Aquarium Set Up
Freshwater Aquarium Advice needed.?

I just created a freshwater aquarium fish and have not yet, however I am seeing a lot of algae growing on gravel and rocks, especially below the filter output after only a few weeks, is this common and what is the best way to clean this before it gets out of control? Is it necessary to remove the rocks and brush them? Please provide some tips you have. Thank you.

You can get an eater of algae, but that's not the problem, simply put a bandage on it. Keep in mind that while eating the algae that eat the algae, not perfectly clean your tank, they eat less and less of them as they grow, they need to be fed with other foods for a long and healthy life, and that shit a heck of a lot, what more nitrates, As more algae ... Also, people should not be recommended unless you know the size of your tank - most of 'silly' fish are not suitable for small tanks, so we should be very careful with the selection in a small tank. Instead, limit your use of light to a few hours per day. If you have live plants you can actually use ambient light room illumination instead of direct deposit to fish when not at home, and then simply aquairium turn on the lights for the few hours per day that are home to actually see the tank. Doing this is just scraping algae to do, and I can assure you through the experience its safe for fish. If you have plants, then the simplest solution is to add more plants, since they use the same nutrients as algae. Growing plants faster to use more nutrients then slow-growing plants. Naturally, you want to make sure you do your weekly water changes to eliminate these nitrates and phosphates that feeds on algae, and also vacuum the gravel, allowing debris to accumulate too leads to a nitrate factory there down. Before you rely on this however, you may want to test tap water for nitrates and phosphates, as if it is high in these elements, water changes do not help and you have to find alternative options to achieve the levels below. Whatever you do, do not use chemicals to combat the problem.
