    Brownish Algae?

    I was wondering if others are also facing this issue? I perform water changes on my tank religiously, weekly..

    Pearling?

    Therefore, if this is called excess and not required, can you reduce the bubble count, as we are pumping in more Co2 than what can be consumed ? Tank - 1 - OFFICE Aquascape - initial setup March 2014 and then rescape August 2014 CADE Tank 800 x 800 x 600 - 320 litre Sump filtration - Long...

    Best aquarium viewing light you have used.
