I jumped to this forum as I saw someone from a more fishy focused forum talk about this foru, and since Ive really gotten into the planted tank. Ive currently got an 2.5gal rectangular generic tank with a heater and filter, which has been running since Fall 2011:
1Betta
2 amazon sword
1 anubis
1sprig of Jenny wort
I am currently having issues with a mix of black beard algae and a bit of brown and green algae.
I currently have 1 14 watt bulb over the tank, and am wondering if I lower the watts on the light, will my algae decrease or should I also decrease the liquid and tab ferts? I have the light on too long some days which is most likely the cause of my troubles.
So I guess my question is for a 2.5 gal with the above listed plants, how long should the light be on to sustain the tank, but limmit the algae. Is it an trial and error?
Thanks for reading my ramble!
