Just a quick general question everyone could prob benefit from. I know there’s a thread on here we a lot of people discussed this. But I’m to lazy to look for it lol
so I know there’s a saying if you have low alk then high nutrients and vice Versa? Am I right or wrong? And dmuch Does lighting affect those variables?
Reason why I ask is cause I have 2 acros that where doing amazing for the past month, then all the sudden I saw that the tips had a brown stringy algae on ( I am having this algae on my sand bed recently) then I notice last night that on those 2 acros the polyps are out but the skin is turning white.
I think it’s a combo of both lights and nutrients
I run 4 t5s (3 blue plus and 1 attinic) and 2 hydra 26hds pushing 100% on royal blue, blue 65% on violet 30% on uv 15% max on white and none red and green. I only run the t5s for 4 hrs I think. And ask far as parameters I haven’t checked the all of them. But alk as of yesterday was 8.0dkh and I’ll be checking the rest today.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
