When setting up a tank and you get to the lighting bit you get a choice of
bulb to use. I think they are tropical or freshwater. Which one deters the
typical green tinge to the water and ornaments.
TIA

Try regular partial water changes
wash filtration sponges only in water drawn from the aquarium (never under
the tap!!!!!!)
control the amount of light with a timer
too much of any light gives ya algae!!
I bought 5 different cheap ones from the supermarket
those 5 cost less than 1 'fishtank' one
I mean I have metal haylides on a few tanks
I spend enuf on lights to get awy with tri-phos or cool whites on some tanks
have a experiment
algae is all about ballance
ya got algae ya got too much light or fish poo in the water!!!
the algae is merely a lifeform making it non toxic
which is good
the fact ya have it tho,
means you have an unresolved cause
fix that
and all will be peachy
