PROBLEM : Algae break out .
REASON I BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING : Because I have been changing water 50% every other day to keep Nitrates in check on a Heavily Stocked 180gallon , heavily filtered , Heavy Oxygenated with plenty of water movement Aquatic set up .
THINGS IM DOING DIFFERENT WITH IN THE LAST MONTH : Overstocking my tank , Keeping my Nitrate 20ppm and below , switched out stock from African cichlids (Witch eat alga) To Piranha (They don't eat the alga ) , Changing water every other day .
ALSO NOTE : My nitrates have never been ran this LOW the set up hase been up and running for almost two years Usauly they are around 50ppm
