So far it's almost been a month since my freshwater low maintenance planted tank has been running, and so far it's been smooth. My only problem that remains is the brown algae/diatom. The thing is it isn't all over the entire tank; it's only apparent near the water output of the filter is. I have some rocks, amazon sword leaves, and 1/3 of the driftwood near the filter outtake and that's mainly been where the growth is.
I just scrubbed everything off with a toothbrush and did a 25% w/c, and I'm hoping it doesn't grow back. My light is on a timer for 8 hours, after it started at 10. It is a 17w zoomed ultra sun, and this is on a 20 gallon long.
