I have been battling some algae issues nothing too serious but hoping that nip it in the butt before it gets serious. I had some brown algae on my sand and the film that gets on my glass, wave makers, return n such. Lately tho, I had cyno pop up in 2 spots on my sandbed. Very small spots but in the past week the two spots have gotten bigger. Setup a refuge last week with chaeto & Fiji mud. The cyno spots are relatively close but both on the right side of the tank.... I've raised my lights (LEDs) to about 14inches above the water (just raised today) were about 2-3inches lower. I have 60lbs of sand in a 75gal tank. I'm beginning to think I should remove all but a thin layer of sand. Anyone have any other suggestions? I've dialed back my lights a hr a day. But lights are on the sunset to moonset.... I'm more concerned about the cyno than the brown algae. But really would like to figure this out.... Thanks in advance.
