    Just found out that my MAG is at 1500, do you guys think that might be an issue because i read that people raise their MAG to stop algae growth.

    Use 1 light. Mag is not an issue and you do not need to think about it, unless you want to reduce it which is fine.

    So my GAH in my display tank is still very persistent and growing. Just wondering maybe it would be a goos idea to pull some of the GHA i have in my DT and put it on to the screen to speed up the process???
