Hey there,
So I'm writing you because my plants are beginning to not do so well. Tank's been running for 5 weeks, and I've got algae of various kinds. It's growing on the glass, there's hair/film algae on some of the older growth of some plants, and what I think is green spot algae on many leaves. Also some plants are turning yellow. The last time that I pm'd you, you advised me to cut down my EI, and I have for about two days. I've been running a photo period every day from 2 to 9:30 PM, so 7.5 hours. I don't have the ability to move my lights up/down, or turn part of them on/off. I'm wondering whether you would think that shortening the pp for a week or two might be a good idea? What else might be causing my plants to turn wrong colors (yellow/brown)? Do you think that the delay with getting CO2 working gave the algae a head start? If so, should I ditch plants/plant segments and start over? Any help you could give (direction to head) would really help thanks in advance!
