My 15g has been running for about 6 months and I have always done 20% water changes every week and the green algae on the glass and sand has been a chore to clean every week and got real bad in just a matter of 5-7 days between maintenance but now the algae is gone.
The only difference I can think of is that a month ago I started doing water changes bi-monthly because nitrates were always at 0 so it seemed like weekly was overkill. Any thoughts on this?
Also, I have changed to the same maintenance regimen on the 55g and the green algae is getting less and less.
I am still feeding either one good feeding per day or 2 light feedings as I always have.
