Hey guys,
I have been having an algae problem in my 75 gallon African tank. I scrub the algae off before doing a water change, but after a few days it comes back. This is somewhat difficult because it's hard to reach the back.
I am using the Aqueon LED OptiBright for lighting and I have it on a timer. From 8am-7pm the light is on and from 7-730pm then moonlight is on.
Am I using too much lighting or could there be other issues causing the algae?
I use an AquaClear HOB and do bi-weekly water changes.
How should I manage this in the long term to keep my tank clean and clear?
