pinchboy, your signature is nice le...
about the algae, once the lighting is control, the growth of algae is control, but in order to clean of all of it, you need to WC frequently, later you also need to intro some algae eater, based on what algae is growing, and sometimes need to remove it manually by hand is there is some situation. |
