so i think maybe my PFS iam using is contributing to my brown algea with my t5h0 light ! so i thought about switching my sand to something else, all though i want a white sand dont want super fine stuff as with such large fish when they swat there fins or tails it will cloud the tank like crazy....
right now i have is white Silurian pool filter sand that was bought at a local pool/spa place, ever since ive had it i have and get nothing but brown algea... ive switched lights from my 140g to my 75g so now the t5h0 is on my 75g which has gravel and i dont have a speck of brown algea just some green on my rocks in it, and i have a single t8 bulb on my 140g and dont have a speck of brown/green agea in the tank, and both lights are on 7 days a week from 9am to 9pm .... ive also took some sand outta my 140g andput it in the 75g were i have my t5h0 light right now to see if it grows brown algea on it after 3 days like it does with my 140g, and i only would have the t5h0 on for 5hrs on my 140g ....im getting very tired of havin to vaccum out my white sand every week when i really shouldnt have to at all
