I have a ten gallon. Housing 14 neons, 3 ghost shrimp, and two netrite snails. I have two Anubias and quite a few java ferns most are 1/4"-2" plantlets and a few patches of Christmas moss. I run two cfls' 23w@5k and 26w@65k both in clamp lights. I run them 4hrs on then off for 2 then on for another 4hrs. I run no co2 or any ferts. The problem is brown algae is covering everything even with weekly 40% water changes. I run just polyfiber and biosponge in my filter and i have a small air stone running. The snails and shrimp do eat the algae but its not really putting a dent in it. Any advice from ten gallon planted owners?
