I'm assuming it's algae? I have grape and fern calerp in this tank. Has not appeared until today and there's multiple spots on the glass now.

I was wondering if that was the case. Got a lot of calerp to clean out today.

do you have a tang? It would help clean up the tank. I'd be sure to prune the sump regularly too. what is it's light cycle?

No tang, it's my 30L.

Why the longer photo period? Right now it's set to come on at 10 and off at 6.

Because a longer photo period makes it less likely to go sexual
Think of a jr high dance. The girls stay away from the boys if the lights are on.
Or for adults... No time to light the candles, drink a glass or two of wine and turn on the Barry White. Haha

That still won't do the trick (I know from experience). Needs to be on 24 hours at least for grape caulerpa. Not sure about other kinds. Honestly, I would just switch to cheato. Caulerpa can go sexual after a long power outage (3+ hours) regardless of how long lights are on for
