Hi
So my tank has recently moved onto algae phase two. The first phase was beard algae, which has since resolved. The tank is a 46 gallon bow front with a 36 inch dual T 8 light bulbs (the two original bulbs the fixture came with) and one dual coralife T5NO with one 6700K bulb and one 10K bulb. The lights are on for 10 hours a day. I am using the EI dosing per the sticky. There is no nitrite or ammonia. My nitrate test kit isn't working, but I have been reassured using the EI dry ferts I should have adequate nitrate. The tank houses a single RRS piranha, so I cannot add any tank mates. I just moved a month ago and am about to move again in another month. As a result in my current situation the tank is not in an ideal location and is close to large window that does not and cannot have blinds. Thank you for looking and the help.
