Hi everyone ,after 4 weeks of my new aquarium i started seeing that the rocks are getting green with algee i guess is this due to much light , i switch on the lights from 17:00 till 21:00 daily

green rocks luuuk gooooooooooooooooood! more natural i think! but 5 in afternoon til 9 at nite? or 5 in morning???

my lights on from 9am til 12 am then come back on at 3 pm until 9 pm rocks do look " weathered " so to speak but not crazily covered x

green rocks are what you want for mbuna, it provides them with food for grazing on and also looks way more natural

It will make them more happy and they will fight less .
