Aquarium Advice Regular
In the fall I posted about all sorts of problems I was having with a 30 Gallon Hex. I had too much light, not enough plants etc...you get the picture...tons of algae.
I have changed things around. Last week my tank underwent a blackout, and I unveiled it on Thursday...and it was almost algae free...the water was clear. Finally.
But it is beginning to green up again (4 days later).
Lighting: 1x28 watt compact flourescent ( I had 2 and took one bulb out to go definite low light)
I haven't retested the water because I didn't think I was supposed to be dosing anything yet. I didn't do a water change after the blackout. Should I do a major one now?
I don't want all that algae growing back. I do have macro and micro nutrients if I need to dose.
