How to make algae grow really fast.

Step one, get a 5 gal tank, put 23 watt's of light on said tank.
Step two bring in java fern with faint algae growth on it.
Step three let grow slowly for two weeks.
Step four leave lights on for 24 hours and come home to a tank that now has green glass walls lol.

Did you do this on purpose or was it on accident?

lol , sometimes I've wanted a little algae on some rocks or such since I don't like you put in a new rock or rocks and they are to bright and kinda stand out from all the other stuff in the tank...like "WOW look at me I just got put in here" LOL....I'm weird ya I know...lol. Two of My tanks look "Natural" and it bothers me when the rocks are to clean if ya know what I mean LOL. Maybe its just me......

Acidental. I didn't think that the algae on the Java fern would be an issue. My tank is now covered in thread algae. Luckiliy it's attached to the glass but still. The light being left on was accidental. I have the light on for the day but I went out and ended up staying at a friends for the night and got home the next afternoon and the light was still going. opps.

Otto's eat thread algae right?
