Journal 350 liter planted tank

Well, the gda came back on the windows.
So im trying something new. To fully cover my tank and see if that makes a difference. I will only remove the cover in the evening. Right now daylight starts at 6/7 in the morning. My tank light start at 14:00 and goes out at 22:00 so maybe there is to much light and not enough darkness. Also the tank gets a little sun from 16:00-17:30

Its still an immature tank as mentioned so i would have thought restricting the light will do more harm than good to the plants. Also creating instability as once you remove the cover they will need to adapt again to changed conditions. My build is now getting to 4 months old and I had quite bad GDA on the glass for over a month. Just kept cleaning it every week. I actually increased the macros during that time (as I had made the mistake of not dosing enough). Then within a week, 90% of it was gone. I would advocate time and consistency and stability, ensuring you have enough macros (assuming the light and CO2 are aligned) but other much more experienced on here may have other options.

Yes but i had gda in the tank before the substrate got changed. So not only the maturity is causing this . I dose apt e and keep no3 at a steady 20mg/l. 40 ml apt after waterchange and 6 ml daily upkeep
