I've been running a diy ATS for about 4~5 months now. It used to grow some nice green stuff in the first month or so but it's been only growing brown algae since then (even after several harvests) and the growth is slow.
The tests consistently show almost no nitrates and phosphates and since the growth is slow, I don't have to harvest as frequently so I don't really have any complains.
Is there any reason for me to try to do something about it and somehow try to promote green growth?
It's a 30g/100L nanno and the bioload is very low (only 6 sexy shrimps & tiny critters).
There's a qq2 skimmer, a filter sock (although I don't clean it very often).
Now that I think about it, I haven't done any water change for about 3 months, could it be that has something to do with it?
