Types of algae in my Tanganyika biotope , read the description to learn more

Attention !! . A film for ambitious aquarists. Watch it at your own risk. The creator is not responsible for an inadequate understanding of this material. Here I will show you how the algae evolve in my aquarium. My goal is a beautiful light green lawn. apart from the specific physicochemical conditions of the aquarium water, filtration, DOC coefficient in the water. the most important factor is light, its quality and intensity. the film begins with a general view, we see greenery covering my decorations right to the bottom, remember that my aquarium is very deep, 4ft (90cm). but in the close-ups I will show you what it is made of. The first round stone, there are green algae, I will not go into their exact names because it is impossible (there are so many types of algae in nature), I will focus on the general types. We see light green algae on this stone (they like excellent quality sunlight, preferably Below 5700k and intense lighting) they are the most beautiful algae and very difficult to maintain, that is my goal. on the same stone we see blue-green algae, also from the green algae family (they like darker light and cooler 6500K, but also of excellent quality, like sunlight). In a fragment of the film we see an aquarium with Tropheus overgrown with blue-green algae. Then we go to a picture where we can see the stones on their sides. these purple-red algae are red algae (Rhodophyta), the ugliest algae in the aquarium. When it grows in the aquarium, it becomes a stone-faced, unattractive desert, where Tropheus do not show their beautiful, contrasting colors against such a background. in my aquarium they are slowly dying. they were left on the side, less lit places of the aquarium. Fighting with them is difficult, they love factory LED lighting (they feed on poorly balanced light, with a predominance of blue and green spectrum), which is why these algae dominate in Tanganyika aquariums. in an aquarium with tropheuses they are constantly eaten by fish, so we only see a thin, purple-red, sometimes gray-black layer. however, when we let them grow, they quickly create a lawn (visible in the film from Tanganyika without Tropheus). I won't talk about diatoms and brown algae because they occur in small quantities in my area and have no effect. So the quality of the light is crucial. That's why I build my own lighting, without hi-tech stuff, because I'm not interested in it at all. Natural aquarium is my slogan

Shot on Xperia 1 VI?

[@wkunique]

no, Sony can't handle it, all the green is "purple". I didn't record any video from my channel with a Sony phone. It really doesn't work. Even restoring the correct colors in pro programs fails.

@@wkunique oh I see, what did you used then?

@@NetvoTV exactly... Old OnePlus6 phone. It copes perfectly with various light sources. it usually reads the white balance quite correctly. My YT channel talks about the possibility of making light 98% identical to sunlight using the best LEDs currently on the market. Yujileds from the APS series are currently the best light source that corresponds to 98% of natural light. in this light, green algae develop in the aquarium, which are very difficult to maintain, and the colors of the fish are natural, just like in nature. Now my new Sony can't record proper videos. This is very disappointing to me. Because this error is very large. It cannot be corrected in post-production. in daylight this phone is really great. but which is not the case nowadays. I expected something more from Sony, because it is not a cheap phone.
