    Hello people,

    I know this may sound a lil stupid, I got a nano tank with boraras and Sterbai cory with plants.

    Is it good or bad sign if i haven't see any algae growing before?

    I noticed from your other threads that you are using a very low intensity light for your tank (small LED clip-on?)... so i guess that helps to prevent or at least slow down algae growth for quite abit of time.

    Yes. Cause my tank not that huge. I afraid the fish turn blind with super strong lights

    Yeah, that's one of the differences between tanks focused on plants, versus tanks focused on fishes... when there is less light in a tank, there is also less issues with algae too.
