I have green algae on my plants which seems to be killing my plants and it is also started showing on the glass.
Would pure aquarium balls help my plants?
Thanks,
Green algae on plants

Hello.
Is the algae only on the glass? How long is the light on for? What kind of plant is the big one that's dying off? I'd cut those leaves off as far down as I could.
The decaying leaves maybe feeding the algae.

I don’t think the algae is killing the plants, but lack of decent root nutrition.
I get green spot algae on my glass and plants. I’m working on getting the balance right with fertiliser and light.
