From the article, it look like Staghorn Algae... can anyone confirm?
I on the lights from 9am to 6pm. 24W for my 1.5ft, is it too strong? Where selling Real SAE (Siamese Flying Fox) which will eat this kind of algae? Last edited by descyf; 04-02-2007 at 12:04 AM. |

24W is fine, I shoot 27W for my 1.5footer and it has not much problems whatsoever.
Anyway staghorn algae needs to be removed manually first and then you let your fauna pick up the rest. You can find SAE easily at C328 and NA but you might not be solving the root of the issue. Reconsider your CO2 and fert regime. With 24W you need to ensure that your fert and CO2 and pick up, I dose ALOT of fert and inject quite a bit of CO2. |
