If the tests are good, then nothing to worry about. If the test are high, try adding two more bulbs temporarily.
hi
feeding tank now with oyster feast , been feeding a few days screen still brown , should i add the extra bulbs , ?
cheers
already have 25w on each side should i move to 50w each side tanks only 30 g
Wait until you are getting green. Extra nutrients won't help it get green. More lights will help.
i have added 2 more bulbs so i now have 2 20w cfl bulbs 2700k on each side of the screen the the flows good the tanks only 30g and feeding oyster feast , i will take a picture next week before i clean , cheers sm

i will clean on sunday and do another water test before hand . i'am also feed coral bay with oyster feast
ph 8.2
nitrate 20ppm
nitrite 0ppm
ammonia 0.25ppm
You need to move the bulbs lower. Can you put a reflector on them?
I'd stop the feast for a bit, until the ammonia is zero.
The bulbs do have reflectors behind them its taped to the glass will stop the feed. The bulbs are in the middle of the screen. Its now working well. Thanks fof the advise sm
cleaned screen to day
any advise ?
Looks good. High nutrients. Either wait for them to come down, or add wattage.
