Caryl Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Does it get more natural or direct light at this time of year than at other times? Have you been doing water changes? I have algae trouble in summer when the water table is low (I think the concentration of nutrients is higher - that's my theory anyway) so avoid water changes until the rains start again :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
