Why the hell do you LIME algae?!?!?!

nice typo

i have never had a problem with it...and i think its kinda pretty in a weird way
 
more light, or move tank infront of a window. you can come over and have some of mine if you want
 
Alot of ways to get algae. Dont do water change. Over Light exposure ove 8 hours. Lots of extra nutrients in the water. Those will surely get you alot of algae. :):):)
 
I think green algae looks good when on driftwood, rocks and parts of gravel. I dont like brown algae or too much where it covers the glass. I tend to have a lot of algae in my planted 40 gal and it does grow on glass so i usually just wipe it off. Like said above move the tank in front of a window and if it has direct sunlight you'll have more then enough in no time.
 
i have the tank in a place where it gets alot of mourning light and i have a 5000k light on it... should i get brighter


i guess i should ave stated that this is for a 10gallon only...

+1 Exposing the tank to natural sunlight will definitely give you some alge.
 
light and nutrients for more algae. but also make sure that there are still or slow moving points of water in the tank. this will also help
