i'm a newbie, 2 months with a npt 10g. slow, steady growth of fur/string algae over the last 3 weeks or so. i got some floating frogbit that's multiplying like crazy; light is 23w cfl clamp light probably 8" above the tank; 5 hours siesta, 5 hours each in the am and pm. plants are doing well, but the algae just doesn't go away after reading this, i think i'll shorten the lighting day.
