Hi,
I did a Dry start with my 45x27x30 nano tank with some H Cuba and few other plants as shown in the pics. The growth was slow but after a few months it was reasonable. There were some spots of green algae even before flooding the tank which was growing on the substrate and between the h. Cuba and front glass. I assumed after flooding it will go away. Now I have an outbreak of sorts of green fluffy type algae on the plants and rocks and the glass (fine dust type). For lighting I use a 23w Chirrios led as in the pics 6 hours a day. CO2 is through a diffuser coming on 1hr before the lights. I do daily dose of aquascaper ferts.
Am I doing something wrong? I have tested the water through API test kit and all looks to be normal. Would be great if someone can offer insight.
