Does water circulation play a part??

i have to admit that my water circulation is not very effective......

only have the spray bar of my ehim canister spraying the water across the breath of the tank.......

is that a problem???

so maybe need to purchase a powerhead??

Water circulation is vital if you do not want any slime algae. Detritus will accumulate in areas where water flow is low and slime algae loves to grow on them.

I also think you need get rid of your pink lights and switch to something with the right colour spectrum. Pink lights are for plants which is the equivalent to algae in the marine world.

One more thing you need to check is you dKh. It could be low as well.

If you have a lot of pods bugs in the tank, they will eat the algae on the glass. For me, I don't have to clean the glass much. The pods eats most of it. Probably once a week, spend 5mins on the glass.
