Has anyone ever dealt with a situation like this? I can't keep my led bar on for more than 5 or 6 hours a day without getting a noticeable layer of dust algae on my glass.
Light is about 60 par at the bottom over my 22 gallon long. 50% water change with RO per week. Not fertilizing atm and it's still happening at the same rate. I also have bga that constantly grows in one small dead spot which needs a cleaning each week too.
At the same time, my stem plants that are able to turn red ONLY turn red an inch or so from the surface of the water.
What does this mean and where do I dtaty troubleshooting? How am I getting alage but also not enough light to turn my plants red all the way down?
