Algae on Plants

[plankton]

If the nitrates aren't too bad then you aren't overfeeding too much.
You need to sort the light and flow out by the sounds.

Do you think the lights are on for too long?

[Gingerlove05]

How long are they on for?

[Sixo]

Around 8 hours I think GL

[Gingerlove05]

Might be worth reducing back to 6 until you get the algae under control. You can increase it back up after. 8 hours is the recommended maximum

[Sixo]

So the plan is...

Trim off the dirty leaves/stems
Get pump up & running
Reduce lighting hours

And see where we're at

Sounds like a plan

All of the above sorted yesterday, see how things develop.

Try reducing your feeding a little, fauna and flora. sometimes I found it took a little tinkering to get the balance right.
