Not too long ago I upgraded from a 60 Gallon to a 120.
Went from 4 lights to 6 Lights, running 8 Hours a day.
Liquid Fertilizer twice a week, with tabs in the sand as well.
Also Running CO2.
In my 60 Gallon, there was no Algae at all, the tank is heavily planted, have some nerite snails, Algae Eaters as well. However lately I've noticed my glass has some green spots on it and has gotten worse.
All my plants are growing well.
Should reducing the light to 7 hours a day do the job or should I drop it too 6 hours?
Also in regards to the light, would it be alright breaking up the time, for example instead of 1pm to 9pm, could I go Lights on from Noon to 3pm, then lights off and then on again from 5pm to 9pm? Or would that kinda confuse/mess up the fish and plants?
Thanks
