The first period

[bingocaller]

So here is the deal.

My tank is a month old - and my scrubber 2 weeks

I am getting a small hint of green algea - but mostly brown on the plate.

My lights in the tank is running for 8 hours - and the scrubber light 16 hours.

I am dealing with alot of long green hair algea in the tank. So the qustion is:

Would it be beneficial for me to run the lifht in the tank for only 2 hours a day for a period? And in doing so giving the algea on the plate better conditions then in the tank so they would grow there instead of in the tank?

I have no corals and only 3 fish so no problem concerning light there

Thanks

Nope. That would make nutrient higher in the water, which would make the screen grow darker.
