I have a 150 gallon tank I’m started to notice green on my glass will this work on cleaning the glass and what can I do different to stop it from happening
- Hi there! Yes, this should help. Additionally, you may be having your lights on for too long. Aquariums containing live plants should receive 10-12 hours of high-quality light per day. Tanks with artificial décor only need 5 to 8 hours per day. If you're providing more light than you should be, it can cause unwanted algae growth in the aquarium. We'd be more than happy to look into this further for you and assist you. Please feel welcome to contact us directly at 1-888-255-4527.
