Earlier this year I decided to re-home and give away my main setup (180L) and focus on this little shrimp tank. It was previously used as a quarantine tank (approx 20L) but now is home to about 30 to 40 cherry shrimp (up from 15ish when I started).

Do you have any problems with algae growing on the plants? My plants always end up algae covered messes

It's been probably setup 6 months now and so far no algae issues.

Adjust water perams, likely lighting, nitrates, or nutrients are causing this. 8 hours of light period. Keep nitrates below 15. Find out which nutrients are unbalanced.
