Hello all,
I am fairly new to fishkeeping, as my tank has only been up and running for about a month now. My tank has already finished cycling for about two weeks now, that is about the time I put in my live plants. Bought some random plants off someone on craigslist. This includes some star grass, microswords, a small ball of java moss, and some ceratophyllum. I am using a Finnex Ray 2 LED light fixture. I bought Flourish Comp and Flourish Excel to use as my ferts. What I need to know is how long I should leave the light on and how much ferts to apply so I can keep my tank in balance and not have a crazy algae outbreak. I have two Nyererei cichlids and a Siamese Algae Eater for algae control, but prevention is always best.
