Light?
23W flood light about 8" away for 14hours single sided
Feeding 1 cube a day
1.5" x 8" screen, I think I will need to make the screen wider with the increased feeding(was 1/4 cube)
You need to turn off the light for a certain period every day. This enables the algae to grow properly. You may want to move the spotlight in a bit closer as well.
I am also using a repurposed CPR skimmer - with some LED's for the light.
He probably read it wrong.. but I do agree that 8" away is too far.
Im worried about burning it using the 23W bulb with the recommended as 12W
I have used 23 Watt CFL's 2 to 3 inches from a screen and never had any burning.
Its always better to have higher watts.. you can cut back on hours if growth is yellow or burning.
