[troybuckle]

Hi guys long time no post lol. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this plant life is and how do I get rid of it. It came out of no where and at first I didn’t mind it by know its starting to take over and it sticks to the rock like crazy. Help lol.

Manual remove and you need to limit the nutrients that are feeding.

How many fish you have? What and how often are you feeding? How old are your lights?

i just have the 3 fish 2 shrimp some hermets and snails, feed every 2 days. lights are not quite a year old yet.

I would try changing the bulbs after pulling out as much as you can. The stock bulbs tend to go bad earlier than good replacement bulbs. I would also pick up on the water changes to starve it out some.
