Hi all! New to the fish tank hobby and started this 10 gallon tank in January. I feel like even when i vacuum and do a 50% water change my tank is still dirty. It started growing some algae at the top of the drift wood and the plants have fuzz on them. Is this biofilm or something else I should worry about? I just added 3 cherry shrimp to munch on some of the algae but does anyone have further advice on cleaning their home up better? Any advice is welcomed. Thank you!
