Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi everyone, i have a question about my 108 gallon aquarium. it has been setup now for a little over two weeks, im doing my cycle with fish [ giant danios ] only because i was not able to find any ammonia in my home town... what i have been noticing is that i have algae growth a little bit everwhere. i dont like the green stuff but i was just wandering if all this is normal... my cycle is not done yet so when it is done will the algae be more under control ? the lighting i have is t5 fluo , 4 of 34" long and they are 39 watts each.... the tank will be a cichlid tank so what is the most time of light that i am able to leave on ? i have read around 10 hours a day... is this fair..... my aquarium is in the basement with very little natural day light and not direct sunlight at all....so with that info any suggestions will be helpful ... thanks Pat....
