I've had a tank now for a year. Never had any algae problems at all
A little over a month ago I started getting brown algae m, even though I wasn't doing anything different
I Cut back on feeding and did twice weekly PWC
I scrubbed the ornaments in the tank and cleaned the brown algae off the plants as best I could
2 weeks ago the light tube failed and I went to the LFC For a new one. I happened to mention my algae problem, and they said it was probably due to the old Tube producing poor lighting before it failed totally
The new tube is definitely brighter, But how do I get rid of the algae that persists?- it seems to have gotten a hold now.
LFC said it should disappear with the new light, but Even with the brighter light I am still getting brown algae two weeks later, even though I persist with cutting feeding back and twice weekly PWC
My chemistry is 0 0 0-5 just before I do a PWC
