Aquarium Advice Apprentice
hello all. i created my own concrete backgroung in a 10 gallon for some dwarf cichlids and it turned out great (see in DIY forum) currently i have a few albinos and a severum in there and a planning to trade them out in a week for a pair of white calvus i think.
i left the tank light on for 4 days straight to promote the algae bloom and so far it worked. there is a bunch of brown with some nice green underneath. once the green covers the whole background, i think the tank will look great and it will be a great food source for shell dwellers or calvus'
my question: is there any way to halt the growth of the brown algae without hurting the green? a little brown would be ok, but i really want more green.
any advice would be appreciated. thanks!
