I have been chasing my algae problem for three months now,
And I have reached
a point where I can see the light. Or at least maybe I am not prone to jump off the deep end at every site of algae.
I have 12 shrimp swimming around at night and they seem to keep things somewhat in balance. I have lowered my light 40% and also seen progress.
I still see more algae than I would like. I know I am still is the early days of a mature tank. But I have questions...
Should I continue to try lowering my light source?
If so should it be by dimming them? Or reducing total hours?
And once the algae is under control, and my plant growth has increased, what is the sign that your tank needs more light?
I preform a weekly 50% water change weekly. Is this adequate?
Also Ei dosing 6 days a week. Day off on Sunday when I do the water change.
And I have co2 running just at the level that it does not kill the fish.
This is my tank.
Cheers
