So my little 10g tank has been in the same spot ever since I set it up earlier in the year, and the sun has never really been an issue.
Of course, I didn't consider that once the sun stays lower in the sky, that may change!!!
It is now being blasted by the sun for a good part of the day, and single cell algae is taking over.
So what's the best method (apart from moving the tank) to combat this?
Don't clean the filter sponge as often, and see if it will trap more of it?
Get some kind of fast growing plant to suck up the nutrients?
keep doing large water changes?
Put some carbon in the filter basket?
Any and all ideas are welcome!!
