I’ve made a post about this tank before, I now have parameters to add to make the cause easier to target.
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 0ppm
Ammonia: 0ppm
pH: 8-8.2
Temp: between 78-80
Dosed with Flourish Excel daily
Lights are full spectrum, 11 hours a day
Weekly 25% water changes
Algae is wiped off sides every 1-2 days
Filter is clogged with brown sludge and has to be cleared out every 2-3 days, most plants get coated in algae and start loosing leaves.
I will be adding some pH down and finding a way to maybe break up the light cycle to two 5-6 hour shifts? Below I linked some pictures of the algae and tank.
