| People you should know that Tirtha is actually wrong. You can not have algae in immersed cultures. That why people do immerse cultures. Its a sorry tale that our friend here has a great eye for algae. |

You are keeping the tanks in the sun. Yet no algae.
What is the flow in the tank.
What is the substrate.
Dosing any?? CO2??
More details needed..... |

@ Saurabh
No flow.
No dosing.
No co2.
No planned water change, but I keep the water level a constant.
Not many fishes, some of the tank do not have any fish/fauna I believe.
There is no place for algae to grow in most of the tanks, where the plants are submerged as they have taken over the tank. Newer ones, that have new plants that are yet to take hold properly are being watched regularly, and around 20% water change alternate days.
Substrate is plain gravel with garden soil, mixed with additives, like peat, earthworm castings, laterite, vermiculite etc etc.
Immersed cultures can not have algae as there is no water beyond the substrate. |
