Im cycled about a month..I went through the Diatom stage and then to dark green stuff which was ok..I clean it off the glass and my cleanup crew eats it. I just went to check my heaters..I have spots of this lime green, almost neon colored algae starting! Its on the heatrs themselves and I noticed a few splotches on the back of the glass too.
My skimmer is due in this week..is this stuff bad or a natural part of the cycling process? I noticed the temp was way too warm...81 or so so I turned the heaters down. I leave the lights on about 12-14 hrs a day (too much?) I have the standard lights that came with the hood. Dunno what they are.
I feed 2x daily...too much?
I have 80 lbs l/s, small amt l/r, one Whisper Filter with carbon in it. LOTS of aeration and waves.
Is this stuff gonna get all over everything? Its so ugly..I mean BRIGHT green!!!
Dang..I was sooooooooooooo happy for a few days! lol!
