green algae

Hi, recently my 20G long tank started getting some hair algae on some of the Monte Carlo. It is a new tank so I was thinking, "This is ok, maybe turn the light down a bit as I had it running for 12 hours a day". About a week later, the tank started turning a light green color. I went to my...

Alright, I've had this tank for nearly a year now with some success and some definite failures. Considering rescaping due to issues I will post in a journal post later, but one thing I do want to discuss has been my war on algae. I had an algae outbreak when I was gone over Christmas and left...
