I have a new tank (at least to me it was new when I got it last week) 60G tank (converted lizard tank to Fish tank) and it contains now 2 Oscars, 3 Pink convicts, 3 Green Terrors, and 2 Pletco's. Within the first week of owning said tank I have had a major algae infestation and I had to (because NO3 sky rocketed) replace 50% of the water.. I knew that its a little dangerous to replace that much water at once but since the water over all was not more than 7 days old in the first place I didnt feel that it was much of a problem. The first after the replacement seems to thrive MUCH better... Now I talked to the local fish store (Fish Land @ Westheimer and Synott) and he recommended that I only leave the light on for 6 hours a day, because there is enough day light (nothing hits the aquarium directly) to produce the next light for the Algae to thrive...
My question I suppose is.... how many hours do you all believe I should run it for each day ?
