Did a 30% water change. I was not careful with switching out the water and caused a temperature swing from 74F to 68F. I brought the temp up a little faster by adding hotter water in. But it was not ideal. The temperature rose again within a few hours. As far as I can tell it did not harm the fish/shrimp/plants.

Did the Master test hours after completing this water change.

Added one pump of easy green after testing.

It's hard to say how much my light schedule change has affected the algae. I don't believe it has gotten worse, I am going to give this schedule a few more weeks assuming the algae does not get significantly worse. I may still have the light on too much. I'm seeing a lot of growth in the rotellas, now that I have been transplanting them. I also widened the duck weed gates a bit.

Fish and shrimp seem to be doing great. Tons of small shrimp out and about.
