Getting a little bba on my 400 litre low tech tank
Satisfied with filtration, water parameters,water temps,stocking,feeding plants and fish.
I believe my problem could be lighting
I have an led strip light which covers approx 1200mm of the 1500mm tank length.Lighting duration is short only 51/2 hours daily
My light doesn't allow and modifications
I was wondering if I can decrease the light intensity by increasing distance of light to water surface.
I have a clear perspex lid and the led light sits on top.It currently around 4 inches from surface of water
I was thinking of doubling this to 8 inches by rasing the light.
Incidentally,the portion of tank with less light seems algae free at the moment. Sorry for long winded post,but any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Nigel
