QT Question - Beth/Terry

[timsedwards]

Hi guys,
OK there are no signs of Ich now on my clown or Royal Gramma for today, SG went down to 1.009 yesterday. Is it 3 weeks from today then?
Also i am getting a lot of algae growth in there as the picture attached shows. All colours of the rainbow as well...i started cleaning the back of the tank and there was more algae floating than water, so i netted it out and stopped. The tank is subject to direct sunlight and i left the light on today, could that cause it? Is it particularly a problem?
Thanks for the help,
Tim.

Why do have the tank in direct light? Yes, that will cause algae growth but it also looks like you have crynobacteria in there.
Yes, 3 wks from today.

BTW: Those plugs are kinda CLOSE to your aquarium!

Well When I say direct light it is in front of the window in my garage, i will put a sheeting or something on the back of the tank to stop it coming in.
LOL yes those plugs are close, they fell i think, i will go and move them now
So its not detrimental to the process or the fish the, the algae that is?
Thanks,
Tim.
