Lighting recommendations for fluval 3.0 light

[Cbarbe]

Hello, all you beautiful people. I was hoping to get advice I have a 10-gallon tank and I am currently using the the Fluval 3.0 24-inch light. I currently have 3 anubias plants. Two of which are sprouting new leaves. I use easy green once a week and just got easy carbon from aquarium co-op to use. My tank now appears to be fully cycled. I've noticed algae on the leaves. Every week I am cleaning some of the algae off the leaves but it comes right back. Do I have the lighting too high? I've already lowered it 3% a couple of weeks ago. Any suggestions? I have attached a photo of my light settings and tank. Thanks for the help!

That might just be brown diatom algae. It's very normal for new tanks, because it likes to eat the silicates that come with new substrates. Eventually it will clear on its own. 

You could also try lowering the light duration, or just the night period.

Those percentages are about what I use on my 20H - so might be a bit much, esp for a long duration. Anubias's are slow growers that enjoy lower lighting. 

Another thing I like doing with these lights is a really long sunrise/sunset, so the light is only at max levels for a shorter time.

That's a great idea. Thank you! ill adjust my sunset and sunrise times and lower my lights a small amount and see if that helps.
