Help! My Fish Tank is out of control w/ green algae.

[Niagara]

14. I have so many suggestions and thoughts right now.

Did you have this algae before the 20 gallon aquarium got moved? If not, is it possible to move the aquarium back to the original placement?


Do you season your water before filling up the aquarium? Does the water have ammonia or nitrates in it?


Is your aquarium getting too much light? Perhaps you can raise the lighting so it's not so close to the water.


Add more live plants. Get rid of the cheap LED lights and buy a more expensive LED light.


It's all trial and error.


I just realized that it's been 30 years since I've had an aquarium to deal with. I hated cleaning the aquariums. And I accidentally lost a female Betta. I never did find her and she was separated from my male Betta.

Good luck RamblingRose!
