Dead zones always seem to be in our tanks, but an additional water jet/power head helps some times along with good solid water flow off the main return.
These dead zones are the lack of flow / light ( mostly from the lack of good water flow ).
Waste will build in these areas thereby causing algea growth.
It helps to have a good tank cleaning crew and not over feeding the tank .
Generaly the main cause i,e it falls to bottom gets into a dead spot, then starts to decay thereby causing phosphates/nitrates to build and
Waaaa-laaa , you have algae blooms. |
