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.
My algea has started to pearl but has seemed to start attaching to some other plants.
Today I turned my timer on my light to see if that would help they now turn on from 11am (its barely getting light in my front room) till 9pm.
Heres my question: would you move the timer to even shorter time? Would you remove the wood that seems to have the worst problem I have included a picture of the wood.
My co2 I have turned up to 2bps.
I posted this in the wrong forum before I hope I can get some answers here.
Ok no idea couldn't get photo to post
