Aquarium Advice Regular
I currently have a very bad algae problem and have turned off the lights for 2 days to try and kill it (I have tried everything possible and its getting even worse). I have noticed that it is definatley slowing the growth and its going a much paler colour and is losing all is little stems... I keep the lights on for 1/2 an hour during feeding, and I have nothing that needs lots of light (corals etc). I worry that the parameters might get screwed up if I keep the lights off for another 5 or 6 days, as I have heard that the PH drops when the lights are off - so will my fish (1 Royal Gramma and 1 Clown) be okay? I also have an Emerald/Mithrax Crab, Sand-Sifting Starfish and hermits and snails.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
