About how long chronologically will this algae phase everyone talks about kick in?
I waited 3 weeks to put the fish in and only planted sparsely. I have 3.3 wpg over a 20High but overall i would say i have medium light b/c some(15watts)of that light comes from t12. I run the t12 all day and the t5's (48 watts double reflector) for 2-5 hours depending on how i feel. Did i somehow skip it or is it still coming? i did not use any mulm and had a brand new filter. i have added 3 ppm NO3 from a nutrient solution with phosphates and K as well as some CSM+b. The tank has been running for about 7 weeks now. I've never had a tank this spotless its kind of freaking me out, i always took a little algae growth as a good sign. Plants are fine and appear to be growing. Co2 is good.
