Best solution is to either relocate the tank, or to put a black drape over the window to block out the sunlight. I have a tank right next to my window. Algae is never a problem. I have black drapes.

What's the longest that I can keep them In the breeder net? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Something so sexy about a topless HOB. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have three yellow labs, a kenyi, an auratus, 2 blue dolphin, and an orange cichlid. I don't want the babies to be food for my auratus. When will it be a good time to add them to the main tank? Right now they're in a breeder net inside the main tank. That's where they've been since I stripped...

Ok. Thank you.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a bad fish keeper but I really like having these fish. I don't have any room for a bigger tank. I have a ton of stuff and like too many people living in my house. I would love to get a 55 gallon, but I only have 30" x 12" of space. I'm guessing I probably...

That makes sense.

I think that this theory applies to a fluidized bed filter where as the K1 media is crashing into each other, the weaker bacteria falls off, while the stronger bacteria continues to colonize. It also keeps it from being able to clog and provide lots of surface area.

My mistake. I was looking at the wrong species.

It also appears that the fish lost it's color. I use some aquarium salt when I do water changes to help preserve the color in my fish.
