Lighting, increased water flow, and overfeeding are the main controlable factors.
When you say lighting I'm assuming you mean leaving the lights on too long?

As far as water flow, do you mean lack of waterflow?

I have 2 maxi 1200's, one in the top front left corner and one in the bottom rear right corner. Is there a basic formula for figuring out how many powerheads you should have or is it just enough to know that there aren't any deadspots?
