Being new to the hobby i know im in for a few surprises as i learn. This is number 3. Already discovered it can be expensive, and that no matter how much i read up, i dont even half know what i am doing.
Now i wake up to green water. Algae? I dont know.
Im 8 days into cycling
Have an Aquatop CF-500 with the charcoal removed and UV turned off
Have a Finnex Planted 24/7 LED light
Heater is cranked up to 82
Running the bubbler over night
Carrib Sea Eco Complete and Tahitian moon sand
Dont have Co2 yet so using API Co2 booster daily
Used Seachem Prime when i filled with RO water
Dont know what is causing this or what i should do
If it is green water algae i read the UV would kill it but also read the UV is bad for the bacteria im trying to establish.
Help please?
