Re: NFC: Adopt-A-Tank help needed on blue green algae, overfeeding

This could also be due to the fact that you need to change your
bulbs. Flo bulbs need to be replaced about every 6 months. You could also use a phosphate
remover in your filter if you use external or canister. I would also work on doing a large
water change. Plus , are you sure that you have blue green algae? You never really
described what the algae looked like or smelled like.
