Hello all. I have been keeping planted aquariums for the last 3 years and would like help with lighting on a tank I bought about 6 months ago. It was sold to me as a 75g tank but after measuring it and using a water volume calculator it comes out to be something like 67g. I've never kept planted tanks larger than 30g so I'm unsure about the needed lighting for it. I am using cfl lights and decided to go with 2 85w cfl. They are hanging about 8-10 inches off of the top of the water. This is a dirted tank with about 10 plant species and it's about 90% coverage of the substrate. My problem is I have the green algae water problem with the tank. All plants are doing fine and are healthy. No dropped leaves on the lower part of the stem. No algae on the plants. It's only in the water and very little on the glass. I have trumpet and ramshorn snails as a cleaning crew. My photo period is 5 on 4 off 5 on. I'm wondering if these bulbs are to powerful or maybe my photo period is to long. I have a 30g, 2 10g and a plastic storage bin that is about 30g (used as a grow tank for trimmings from the other tanks) and they are all stable with no algae or issues at all. This larger tank is giving me a headache. I'm having to do 40 to 50% water changes every 3 or 4 days just to keep the tank viewable. If I wait 7 days to do water changes then the water is so green I can't even see fish 5 inches in. Any help would be appreciated.
