Large tank 120 cm x 45 cm x 45 cm the wood and submersed plants are covered with short tufts of black algae. I have dwarf ancistrus in the tank but they won't touch this stuff. Shrimp and snails are out of the question as the dwarf cichlids-Nannacara anomala and Pelvichromis taeniatus Nigerian Red consider them as snacks.
pH is 6.0, KH and GH are so low as to off the scale.Ammonia, nitrates and nitrites are not a problem.
A neighbour lives one floor down has discus which are breeding, his water coming from the tap has the same parameters. He's not concerned about brush algae as he keeps bare tanks-no plants or gravel.
