Default Dealing with bright tanks

Just adding more light isn't going to lead to great
plant growth, they still require two other main resources, co2 and
fertilizer. If you can't strike a balance between these three elements,
then the tank will be unstable and algae will be able to thrive on the
excesses.


Yup. And even worse things can happen. With high light and no CO2 injection,
the pH can shoot up so much and so fast it hurts, even kills, the fish.
