Default Re: Lighting and Algae

Algae = abundance of bad nutrients. Before you change your lighting schedule back to how it was, it would be helpful to know some of your water parameters, NO2, NO3, phosphates, etc.....everything you normally test for. Also, what kind of lighitng system do you have? (PC, T-5, MH etc.)
What do you feed your fish and how often? How many fish do you have? Do you have a protein skimmer? If so, what kind?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but it is hard to answer your question without these crucial details.
