Griffinbbb Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I have a very small amount of green spot algae on some of leaves of my plants, especially anubias leaves. I know green spot algae means that the light is "too much", but my question is... Is my light brightness too high? or Is my light on for too long? My light is the Nicrew classic LED and is on for 9 hours per day. I have not changed the length of time it is on or the brightness since I started my tank about 5 months ago. The green spot algae appeared only a month or so ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Try 8 hours a day to see if that has an affect or put some algae eating snails and fish in your tank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Nitrite snails eat green spot algae. I would try changing the light to 8 hours and add the snails. It’s all about finding balance (which isn’t always easy). The snails definitely help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
