Welcome to Reef2Reef!!!
Can you tell us a little bit more about your tank? At first glance it appears to be algae build in a freshwater tank. Without knowing the details, I would suggest that you increase the water changes. Good luck!

Welcome! Glad you joined.
+1 vote algae - natural sunlight is fuel for algae, but not the only thing that encourages growth.
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state.

Its algae and algae areas getting too much light. These are plastc and you can therefore soak 12-24hrs in bleach or vinegar diluted in water. I prefer vinegar as bleach may make the color fadeHi I'm Lynn from Albany NH thanks for letting me join. What causes this in a tank

Hi and welcome .
There is no way possible to keep algae off of these fake plants .
