I'm Fishy

Lower is Better


Because everything had kept doing well and algae is staying down, I've decided to leave the lower-wattage bulbs in the periphery hoods. That's 14 watts in the leftmost and rightmost hoods, and 26 watt bulbs in the middle for a grand wattage total of 80 or 2.67 watts/gallon. Not as high-light, but every bit as high-tech as in the past, and hopefully low-algae, too. Hopefully that leaves enough light for everything that has come to expect/demand it (esp. glosso).

My primary goals with this lower light setup:
  • Less GSA on the higher temple leaves (left)
  • Less BGA/hybrid-monster algae on the reneikei (left)
  • More consistent growth of the foxtail (right)
  • Less GSA on the bacopa (right)
  • Less BGA/hybrid-monster algae on the melon sword (left)
