Actinics near front to reduce algae growth

thanks for clearing that up, that took a bit of guts, hehe.

what a good scientist, hehe.

i have had problems with GHA for years now, the only ongoing condition is
the absence of a protien skimmer, or a well functioning one atleast

check your skimming!

Awhile back I made a post that stated essentially that if yu placed
your actinics towards the front of the tank it would supposedly
eliminate alge or at least reduce it. A few questioned where I got
that info from and I replied where. UP until that point I did place my
actinics up to the front portion, and have never really gotten any
algae problems. Evidently its not the light but just the way my tank
is setup in duraiton of light, and water quality and clean up crews.

I have another tank which is in a bathroom without any windows or
sunlight, and it to has the actinic up front as usual. It is
continually getting algae blooms......so I have my doubts that
placing an actinic at the front or back or in the middle has any
bearing on algae growing or not.

The lights and the tank are identical to what tank is in the main
room, and bulbs are new.......so evidently if yur gonna get algae your
gonna get algae. I use the same water in all the tanks from the same
source so it has me puzzled why just this one tank gets such fast
algae growth as compared to all the others.
