From what I have read so far there are several different types of chlorophyll a,b,c1,c2, and d. The light absorbance for a and c are
Given the fairly large difference and the steep nature of the peak absorbance curve of just these two different chlorophyll molecules, I am trying to figure out what would be the right colored led light wavelength that would be best for a FW algae scrubber. The colored led lights have very narrow wavelength frequency. From what I have read so far there are difference in the chlorophyll makeup between FW and SW algae. I could be wrong. I am far from an expert and I would appreciate any ones input on the subject.
