I just recently started dosing fertilizers to my 10g, non CO2 tank. I have 2 - 9watt 6500k bulbs and they have been on for 8 hours/day. I do 50% water changes every week. The algae that I had a terrible run in with in the past is back again. All the edges of the leaves of the plants have algae and it's growing with a little more vengeance on the tank walls. Undoubtedly this is partly due to the increased lighting that I have now (before starting to dose ferts, I only had one 13w bulb, 6 hours/day). So what I'm wondering is, is there anything that I'm NOT adding that I need to add, or anything I'm ADDING that I need to increase/decrease to give the plants more of the upper hand?
Also another problem, I bought a Vals and the edge of one leaf was kind of yellow when I bought it. It spread up the leaf so I cut the leaf off. Now many of the leaves are turning yellow on the tips and dying. What is this a symptom of?
