I have a 10 gallon planted tank with 1 beta, 2 Amano shrimp, and 3 cherry shrimp. I have anubias and asian water fern varieties, my tank is fully cycled and I do an 80% WC every week. Somehow, thick-green cyano seems to be growing no matter how often I clean it up by hand, it comes back after 3 days or so and it covers my plants and substrate (I use eco-complete planted substrate). I only feed every other day and a small amount. Is lighting a problem? I use a 1 bulb LED (not designed for aquariums). Can this be the issue? Visually, it's got a yellow spectrum and it can be the source of algae, but was wondering if there's more to it. How many hours should the light be on? Any help would be great. Thanks
