Recently I had a minor algae bloom in my tank due to too much light and I missed an EI micro dose day maybe 2. I immediately decreased the light duration and intensity and the algae stopped. Now it's a matter of erraticatting the established algae and getting the HC to outcompete.
My question is... How should I go about increasing the light again without triggering an algae bloom?
I know I need to increase the co2 and frets along with the light but I'm already blasting co2, dosing frets, and daily excell dosing. I feel like the HC need more light to really take off and flourish.
