Help Growing Algae

[Ben M]

Hi, I have recently set up a mbuna tank, and I was wondering what the best way is to encourage algal growth on the rocks which the fish graze on? I am leaving the lights on for longer than normal, but is there anything else I can do? I have loads of flow in the tank (20 x turnover), which will probably restrict algal growth (?) and I do loads of water changes. There are no plants, so I'm not using any ferts or CO2.

cheers,
Ben 😀

Add some NPK and a couple of JBL Marine Day T5's if you don't use them already. 🙂
