I am not sure what is going on with my aquarium all of a sudden. The water is green, an algae bloom, I think. I haven't been doing anything different that I can think of, it's never been moved from its place in an alcove for the last 6 years. I was told by another site that it was getting too much light but as I say it's never been moved and the light it receives from the window is constant and I only turn the hood light on in the morning to feed them and sometimes in the evenings when it's dark in the house.
It started a month ago when my Chinese algae eater died and I had to wait two weeks for a store to get more in but was told a pleco would be better because Chinese algae eaters have a tendency to pick on neons which is what my tank consists of, except for a flying fox, I had two but one died.
I got a new filter thinking it was the problem and it cleared it for a couple of days now it is back to being green again. I have never had this much trouble and don't know what else to do.
