people i having a serious problem,very serious..
after a trip to blanchisseuse river one fine saturday morning, i taught it would be a good idea to gather some of the white gravel on the beach and a bit of drift wood for my fresh water tank,

upon taking a walk in the shallows of the river i discovered a sweet awesome looking piece of driftwood with a fluffy type of moss growing on it(thinking this thing might look good in the tank)....and now
this mossy sheit has just over grown my whole aquarium,
i tried every damm thing possible to get rid of it, bleaching the aquarium,bleaching the gravel,
even the hang on filters get jammed up with this dissease
my other plants survive because i am constantly pulling out huge clumps of this rubbish weekly
the only thing that seems to curb the growth is a bit of java moss i have,but i dont want to contaminate the java
any of you guys know of this filthy lil plant or how to get rid of it??
ill post some pics later

Valuable lesson learnt now eh.
I think it that stringy algae you got, as long as there is light it will grow. Cut a garbage bag and wrap ot around the entire tank. Or buy an algae treatment in the pet store.

[andre_959]

True that halfbreed, just buy some algae tablets, black out the tank for a week and do daily water changes

[meccalli]

Yeah lets see some pics, sounds like a great nutrient export contender.

yuh go arks dat ,...this thing attaching itself to the silicone joints between glass, the gravel,the good plants,every blasted thing,even the air line not getting away....its a disease i tell u.
the algae treatment wont mess up the other good plants in the tank??
i used the white chalky block once (forget the name) but that killed all the plants i had

[Kasey]

that sounds like a form of algae. Do have any plecos? Preferably big ones. Or Cichlids? They helped me when I had that problem.

[bir123]

Try to cover the tank for a week .do not give it any light .the plants should live with only a little melting here and there

Or

Get some of the floting plants from those ponds like duck weed waterletuce and cover the top of the aquarium with it .

ok so some pics of the virus,
(sorry about the shitty flash, lighting was bad outside)
the tank is in my front porch,so it gets approx 3-4 hours of sun daily,
should i keep a bit of the plastic as a permanent solution??
if i leave this alone for a 3 weeks,everything gets jammed up
all the filters clogged,..fish start to get trapped in the mush, even the snails cant escape
will try the black out treatment

[Halfbreed07]

Yea same thing I said, the algae treatment may not help this. Try pulling out as much as you can. Remove any plants u want to save and black out the tank. Don't worry your fish won't care, you can remove the garbage bag at night to see them.

Hey guys need some help with lighting for a planted tank, who dose lighting systems I have an 6*2*2 feet indoor tank.

[Halfbreed07]

A 48" light should be sufficient, or 3 x 24" lights placed long the short side of the tank.

[damion_m_k]

What about watts per gallon??

[Halfbreed07]

For a fresh water tank not so much. You can Google it of course
