UAS air flow vs. Water Flow

[SantaMonica]

Pads will grow, but the thickness will cause internal light blockage and early die off compared to a flat screen.

Update:

running UAS - 8 X 5 inches 30 sq. inches. - 18 hours light a day with 6 red LED's 2 Blue. All LEDS running at about 2 watts - 3 inches apart roughly.

Getting good algae growth - Nitrates at 0 Phosphate continues to be lower - around .2 PPM -

I went away on vacation and kids fed fish. Overfeeding of course - when I got back I had a nice crop of hair algae and stringy strands of Briorisis [sp?]

getting back into low feeding and adjusting lighting in Display vs. hours of UAS lighting.

Xenia in tank is growing like crazy. Seems to like "dirty" water.

I feed about 1/2 to 1 "cube per day - so my screen may be a bit large. Right now It seems to be cleaning up the legacy of overfeeding.
