36 gallon tank is less than six months but I transferred from a 20 and kept gravel and filter so technically around 2 years if you count that. Parameters
Nitrate 10-20
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
And I have a full spectrum daylight usually do around 12 hours of light no timer so I just turn of at night.
 
Some otos would be in heaven in that tank. That was an easy solution for my algae problems...

Bloody hair algae, driving me mad as well. I've 2 weeks into a course of Interpet hair algae remover and I've noticed it's stopped growing, though I have cut back back lighting, ferts and feeding as well so it could helping also. I have 4 oto's in my tank and they go no where near it, my Rainbow cichlid seems to eat occasionally though.
 
Amano shrimp! My tank used to be COVED in algae. 5 amano shrimp and it was gone in less than 3 days. They are magic!
