Lights off 24/7?

[tdrhodes]

I have decided to leave my lights off on my tank.I have followed all other algae control protocals and I still have problems. I still continue to fight(wet foam)my AquaC even with the pump change(sen900.)I noticed that all the small pieces of LR in my sump no longer have hair algae. In turning off the lights should I also cover the tank from the light that is in the room. I have flourecent and there is no natural light(basement) in the room.

my 10g aquarium is right near a lamp with an incadescent bulb. I have red algae covering the wall of the tank near the lamp, but there no red algae on the other sides. i got paper and covered the aquarium wall near the lamp and now the red algae is disappearing.

Where do you get your top off and change water?

My local place is really good. www.sandyspetshop.com I have one other thing to try.
