Your aquarium is super nice and very nice to look at and super neat too, no co2 is super cool as you remove all those heavy costs, and i had also setup my 2x tanks with no co2 as well and also no pump, and i really like your tank, super nice scape and design great job there and keep up

wait is this true, I heard if you leave you lid it will get at least 5% - 10% or Co2.. And yes you need to spend a little bit for good fertilizer, lighting, and dirt/sand. I would suggest getting light and fertilizer because if you want a nice looking planted tank you need to spend at least 100 - 200 dollars in plant. most people quit when they fail.

So something is off in your aquarium.. are you doing enough water changes, is your light on to much and are often is your filter getting cleaned because those are a few that will really trigger black algae to grow and really the best way is to just scrap it all off and trying to figure out what is causing it so it won't come back so check the three I listed and another tip is it wouldnt hurt to have some snails or fish that eat black algae to

But just keep in mind that it might kill it all off but if the problem, whatever that is isnt fixed it's just gonna keep going back. And another thing, is your tank cycled. And the lighting and your filter wise seems fine but your water changes could be one of the problem, your tank is larger so you can get away with fewer changes but just for example I do 2 50 percent water changes a week on my tank and I do that just so it's not even slightly possible for anything to start in my tanks
