Can anyone ID this algae? I know it's not a good pic. Its It's very stringy with long strands. I only see it on this moss. It doesn't have much of a color.
When you say most what are the caveats you can think of and do you think I should have left my lights alone?4 hours intense light is fine for most growth needs
I have 5 ottos a 5 Amanos. My plan is to double that but I didn't want to over load the tank without have the demand. It seems like now is a good time to increase their numbers.Algae crew?
.Reduce the 100% intensity period to 4 hours from 7. The rest of the time will be ramp time. 8 hrs total.
4 hours intense light and and 4 hours ramp up and down is 8 Hours of light for algae so as Alto says 4 hours in enough can you reduce intensity
I don’t recall exact tank dimensions - OK maybe my recall is virtually blank - but 90 cm tank (x 45 x 45 seems a reasonable assumption), and that’s a very high efficiency expected for 5 Amano shrimp5 Amanos
List tank and light details (for the feeble minded among us)
Are you asking if I can further reduce intensity or are you saying the change I made was the right move. Sorry but I'm confused by your comment
can you adjust your lights intensity/brightness ?
How does 4.0 differ from the 3.0 version?1 fluval 36" 4.0 plant

As Zeus says, I’d decrease total light to 5h (6 if you must ) - and, as tempting as it is, to run 5-10% light for evening viewing, I’d leave off for now ... once visible algae is basically gone, you can increase photoperiod or add an extended evening “moonlight” period

It is the 3.0. I made a typo.
an here I was thinking you’d got the latest prototype
