Should certainly have lots of green by now.
Thanks for the reply! There isn't much change. in fact there is less this week than last. Not sure what steps are needed to refine the design. I run 18 on 6 off. Surely there is plenty of light. There must be plenty of excess nutrients in the tank. I do have a steady sheet of water.However I can increase flow over the screen. I'm sure the screen is roughed up . I will get a pic up of the lights on and off. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for helping me with this experiment, Brian
Looks like it is just way oversized for the amount of feeding/nutrients
Thanks Again for Your advice. The screen is way big according to the new sizing guide. I will cut the screen down. This way I can use a shorter slot in the manifold which will create more flow over the screen and concentrate the lighting.
Good evening,I cut the screen down from 9.5 to 7 inches. I was able to concentrate the lighting greatly. I will give it a couple of weeks and see what happens.Thanks
The stronger flow will help a lot.
Hello, I guess week 7 now? So I cut the screen down to 7 inches as stated last week. Was really able to concentrate the lights and improved the manifold for better flow .More brown stuff but more thicker spots. Hard to explain. I lightly scrapped the screen. I'm willing to make the screen smaller and build a container that is not as wide. the current container is 5.5 inches wide The acrylic I used wasn't crystal clear. Here is a pic. Thanks!
Did you really rough the screen? Those spots usually happen if the screen is too smooth.
