If you have a timer, a little trick I learned is to give the light a 1 hour break in the middle of the day. This allows CO2 levels to rise because the plants aren't photosynthesizing as rapidly, plants can also take up nutrients from the water and substrate during this time to replenish their nutrient storage. The algae isn't getting light so its growth cycle is interrupted, when the lights come back on the plant has more CO2 and is ready to photosynthesize again

I started a new tank last week-I’m a new hobbyist but have been watching you for years! I broke out my notebook and started taking notes on everything I can! I have a 15 gallon fluval flex with dwarf hair grass, Java fern, ludiwigia, pearl weed, and dwarfwater lettuce. In there I have 6 rasbora hetermorpha (supposedly super hardy) to help me do a gentle fish-in cycle. I’m still learning about fertilizer, but I dose Seachem Flourish once a week, and feed my fish every other day. I’m thinking I need to get some root tabs! Still playing with lighting too.. I’ve been using the low to medium setting and doing longer hours. No algae yet, and I think my fish appreciate not being blinded. I think my fish also feel more comfortable with slightly softer lighting as well.

Few other pointers: if you have a nano tank especially, consistency is key (water temperature, lighting, water changes) because there is much less room for error with less water. When I started off I had such a had time keeping my 10 gallon tanks consistent temperatures in the winter here causing my shrimp population to stunt. When I moved to a 20 gallon things got much easier because everything happens more gradually

I love this video, very down to earth and explain everything we need to know about aquascaping in general. That talk about algae made me remember the ‘family tank’ I have in my home. Once my brother was complaining about the greenish water and I was so fed up with it, I bought a higher lumen LED. Once it turned on, the water suddenly looks clear, even though it was greenish few seconds ago, and he finally understand that greenish water is actually normal as long as it doesn't affect the plant growth too much. I think people have too much expectation from watching high tech tank. They sometimes failed to realize that high tech means high investment, and when your tank isn't a ‘high investment’ one, then don't expect too high 🤣

This might be my favorite video of yours so far. I really appreciate the tips laid out in such a straightforward way. I recently started a couple of small tanks in jars I had in my home - 2 gal & 1 gal. They've done pretty well, at least the plants have done well and the snails I added seem happy, but I didn't do well with the shrimp. I'd love to see some new videos similar to this style about non-heated setups and appropriate critters for them. :D Thanks for sharing your knowledge & beautiful tanks!
