Hi All,
Total Newbie to a planted tank and this forum, but definitely inspired.. by some of your amazing tanks!.. any/all advice would be very helpful My setup thus far.. started early Jan, 55g standard, T5HO x 2 (2x54w), solid substrate, few sections of sagitaria grass, 1 of crypto parva, and java moss, driftwood, and 5 cherry shrimp. The tank is totally new but my first challenge seems to be brown algae, growing on everything.. some articles i read suggested to increase the oxygen, other the CO2, others to just lower the light time (10-12hrs/day currently).. what would you recommend?
Any/all advice would be appreciated
Thanks & nice to meet everyone
Dave
