So I recently upgraded to a stronger light and ever since have been struggling with finding the right balance of everything. I was hoping for some help getting algae under control.
It's a finnex planted+ over a 29 long
Dosing excel daily and flourish three times a week
I was planning to switch to dry ferts when I finish my bottle of flourish and I order some stuff online, probably within the month. I just dialled the amount of time the light is on to about 6/7 hours a day, but it does get hit by some sunlight. The nuisance algae I'm dealing with is fuzz algae(?) on plant leaves and occasionally glass.
If I don't see any improvement should I have the light on even less?
Would a total blackout for a few days be worthwhile/effective?
Any other tips for decreasing this algae?
