A week ago, I was getting algae on the rocks, and the sand was getting discolored.
So, I cut back the lights to 3 hours a day.
using the actinics for 4 or so, and the LEDs for something like 5.
the tank gets some indirect light for a couple of hours.
the algae is gone,but can the rocks be too white?
I have 5 snails, don't want them to starve.
now I'm not sure if I should increase the light.
I'll post a pic when I fire up the PC.
just what should I strive for?
"some" algae?
here's what i mean, quite white
