I'll be paying attention to this thread for sure. I've got a case going in a twenty gallon right now. I've tried letting it go for three weeks before I cleaned it off, but it's come back with a fury in the last two weeks.

I've got a AHS 1X55 and the customary 15 watt bulb that came with the tank for lighting, as well as a EI fertilization scheme with Greg Watson ferts. I've also got three otos residing in the tank.

I'll try either cutting the nitrates from the fertilization schedule or turning off the 15 watt bulb. What does anyone think will work the best?
