i am feeding with food full of phostphate i doubled feeding today

No.

That's why it was only growing under the light shield.

Change to 18 hours.

I started first week with 50% light and 24/7. Worked wonders for me.

hi santa

please give me your opinion about that sitiuation

when i clean the scrubber then make it work i found tiny fresh green algae
then after one day it turns yellow then brown do u think the light is so strong for the flow???
should i decrease the light period???

The light is not strong enough.

do i increase the light period ???

i have 2*23 watt on each side
+ 30 watt on each side

= 152 watt
how it is not strong??!!!

Just let it run
