The light on your aquarium can be too bright and cause algae problems. One way to combat your aquarium light being too bright is to raise the light 8 to 12 inches above the aquarium. This spreads out the brightness and intensity. By the light being farther away from what’s inside the aquarium you won’t suffer from the brightness as much.
When a fish tank light is too bright it usually causes an algae outbreak. Having to clean algae in an aquarium is time consuming. If you can help your aquarium from producing lots of algae that would be best. A light that’s too intense will cause more work than what’s desired.
Another way to cure your aquarium light being too bright is to reduce the amount of time that the light is on during the day. You should also be using a timer on your aquarium light to ensure the tank is receiving the same amount of light every single day. This is a huge factor to the fish and plants. Plants very much thrive on having the same schedule of sunlight every single day.

Hi Chris been watching you for years. To be frank I have had many fish in the years past and fish are legit some of the hardest pets I've ever kept especially with the balance but your videos somewhat have helped me maintaine things. I generally go small now only keeping goldfish outside in a pond and one betta fish

Have you tried the Father Fish dirted aquarium system? Once you get it set up and going, there's very little maintenance.

Wow, I didn't know you had all those tanks! Only ever seen videos with one angle at a time. Cool. I like those plastic lifters too. Wonder if I could come up with a way to hook/snap the light in so it's all one attached, easily movable unit for feeding. Hmmm

What if there's no room to move the light up? Would lowering the water level be ok to create some distance between the light and the water surface? I know it won't look as cool as but ....?

I always struggle with not enough lighting. Or it could be me but my tanks always look darker and more yellow than tanks on KZfaq, maybe it's the cameras auto settings making me feel inadequate! 🤷

Ok you had some good tips but I don't know if I can do them as I have a flourescent tube light for my tank and it sits directly on the tank cover glass. How do I lessen the brightness?

Hello hi my names Justin and I was wondering where you got that aquarium light that you claim is to string that’s the exact lighting I’m looking for especially the ones that you can set so it’s propped above the aquarium so I can start growing potho sun the water.

But what if you have a tank with lights as part of the tank? I have a jewel tank and the lighting unit sits in the lid. All of their globes seem too bright.

Take the lids for plastic cottage cheese tubs and put them under the lights as diffusers. Super cheap and easy.
