Ok, probably a simple question, but Im stumped. Every day, I can see a green film on the inside of my glass. I use my mag float and it comes off easily. Tank has been up since October, and is fully cycled, is just a fish and rock tank right now.
Ive tested all the parameters of the water, and ammonia nitrite and nitrate are all at zero. Had the LFS test it also, came up with the same results. Phosphate levels were barely detectable. Lights are new T5HO bulbs, and I only run them 8 hours a day.
Green hair algae growing in some spots, I remove it, and it comes back.
Any ideas what Im doing wrong? Or is this just normal stuff I have to live with? I see pictures of all your tanks, and they are all spotless, no green gunk anywhere.
Thank you in advance!
