I planted my tank and I am using a 75 watt plant light. It works out to 2.5 watts per gallon. Things were going fine until today. I noticed a lot of algae growing. It is a light green to white color. Some of it is kinda stringy. I have been leaving my light on for around 10 hours with a few days of it being on for 12-14 hours. Should I cut it down to 8 hours. I am getting a timer because I am inconsistent with turning them on and off at regular hours. My plants are growing and I don't want to stunt them. Tank has been planted for 5 days. I added some more plants today. I have two mollies and three ghost shrimp in the tank. They are eating the algae but I don't think they can eat it all. I am ordering some Seachem Flourish and root tabs. Should I use an algae remover?
