Sometimes it takes a while.
Funny note. Where the algae grew best is now where the coralline growths best.
Um, oh yeah, keep the rocks more than 1.5" from the front glass....
That’s a nice looking tank.

Aside from the weird film on top of the water, that tank looks pretty clean....doesn't belong in this thread lol.First tank I ever had from the late 80's

When lights come on, I'm posting a planted tank I haven't cleaned
internally since 04. Top growth cut five times.
viewers in person are distracted instantly from the nonpruning
why don't you scissors etc. if you just had some red wendtii, there'd be some plants etc

I started this tank with pukani rock years ago before I understood about phosphates lol Before and after. The after photo is nothing special but shows the turn around after a few months of research and TLC. Try to stay the course!
Thanks!
It took 3 months of hand picking as much hair algae as possible but it finally turned around.
I call it Hotel Coralline.

I kept scrubbing rocks and vaccuming the sand bed with large water changes. I added a sunsun cannister filter with uv instead of hang on filters. Also an AquaC remora hang on skimmer. Ive since taken that old 29g tank out of service but I now use the filter and skimmer on a quarantine tank.

Thats quite the transformation. Howd you get rid of the green hair algae?
