Hello TPT,
I just added another new compact florescent light to my tank. I have been noticing this dark algae growing on the leaves. Can the light be causing this?
The light I was currently using is 4x 65w 6700k. I added 2x 65w 6700k/10000k. Would the 6700k/10000k promote this type of algae growth? At first I had the lights on for 10hrs. That’s when I started to notice the algae growth. So then I staggered the lights. The 4x 65 on for 10hrs and the 2x 65 on for 9 hrs. But did not see a significant change.
120g, co2 injection, Kh 4, Ph 6.4. Temp 81. Planted tabs and dose pmdd everyday and potassium and iron every other day.
2 discus, 5 angles, school of cardinals, 3 pairs of rams, bristle nose, sea, 4 algae eating shrimp and 4 otos.
amazon swords, crypts, anubius, and other plants I can not name.
Thanks Ghost
