How long of a photoperiod per day do you keep your lights on?
Typically 10 hours a day is recommended....However I have a different story on my hands where because of work reasons I leave my lights on for approx 12 hours a day....I used to have algae problems until I switched from 12 hours of full lights to an hour of half light for the first hour and last hour and full light at ~3wpg for 10 hours...none of my plants flinched
Do you know how much CO2 you are injecting into the tank? A few around will tell you cranking up the CO2 a little will help with the hair and staghorn... |
