Algae

[tylerandersen]

So my tank is about 4-5 weeks old now. Ammonia is 0, nitrites are high, nitrates are high.. Algae is taking over. Will this go away after the cycle finishes? I'm sure this is answered somewhere else but don't know for sure where. It's a green algae

Are you keeping your lights off?

I guess I maybe should be? Haha.. It would only make sense

Ya the lights are only gona support the algea growth rite now. No need to have them on till the cycle is over
