I have a 10 gallon tank with two 10 watt 6500k cfl bulbs. I dose excel everyday and keep the photo period around 7 to 8 hours. After a few weeks my plants always manage to get algae growing on them and it's really hard to get off the plant without harming it. I usually try to spot treat it with hydrogen peroxide first.
Is 20 watts of cfl lighting too much? I dose the recommended dose of flourish comprehensive as well. I also have a 55g with 2 watts per gallon of cfl lighting, but the situation is not as severe.
