So I’m 24 days in, and I’m getting some brown algae blooms on sand and rock.
I’d like to cut this off before it gets too bad as I’m just starting this tank up after a 5 year old tank with a lot of algae and failure.
I have an algae scrubber running, but I haven’t seen anything growing just yet.
I also think I might have an issue, I’m running the lights now for 11 hours. I can cut that down, or run at a lower percentage. But there is sunlight on the tank all day. It’s 14 feet from a window, but the light comes and lights up the tank for hours before I even turn on the lights. Could this be a problem going forward?
any suggestions?
