I have a problem with black algae and also now since adding co2 I am getting an almost slimy green algae on my plants.
I am running I have the 48" aquatic life T5 HO light fixture with lunar LEDs. Timer controls, 420/460, 10,000k(whatever. That means) I am running 1 bulb natural white T5 HO 6000k freshwater lamp. And 1 bulb roseate T5 HO 650nm. The 2 bulbs run at the same time. I just bought the new bulbs 4 months ago. I don't run the 2nd set of bulbs. But I do run the moonlight just because I like it. Would you add more light or keep it at the same. I leave the lights on 12 hours a day.
Also recently the sun has started to come out. Could this be a contributing factor?
I have a co2 and all the black/green algae is pearling.
Thanks
