Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hello,
I have had an established tank for quite sometime now, but I'm far from knowledgeable about lights.
I have a 36 gal lightly planted (now) tank and recently after years and years, my lights gave up the ghost. I went on Amazon and bought some to fit my tank, and now I have a problem with green algae. The lights I bought are full spectrum LEDs and are 21 watts. That's the extent of what I know about them.
I dose with Excel and Trace, although I just started with the Trace and only dose twice a week with that, alternating between it and the Excel, and I just went online and bought a UV light to help with the algae.
Does anyone have any advice for me regarding my situation?
Thanks for any help,
D
