Hi Guys,
We have an algae problem in our 240 litre tank. We cleaned all the algae off the rocks and in one week the rocks were covered again! I will upload a photo if that is possible on here. Below are the details of how we manage the tank. Do you think the issue is due to too much light? It came back so quick and we'd even used hydrogen peroxide in the sink when we were scrubbing the rocks.
All help is welcome please!
240 Liter tank.
4 39w T5 bulbs for 10hrs a day
we have a CO2 injection and keep levels at ~20-30ppm
7x filtration and another 10x movement from powerjets
Easycarbo 10ml per day (at night)
Fertilisers: Florena 0-0-4 once a week (we have plenty of nitrates/phosphates in london tap water-yuk)
Water change is 1/3 once a week
Ideas?
