Dense planting removes food from algae. So that the plants in aquariums can grow and stay healthy, they need light for ten to twelve hours a day. Particularly for new installations and new light bulbs, you should take breaks of about one to two hours a day. There are other natural helpers that curb the growth of algae in aquarium pools: some types of snails and shrimps feed on algae and keep the panes clean. Partial water changes also reduce nutrients.
