Hello everyone,
It's day 6 of my algae scrubber and thought id give you an update with a few new questions too. Here's a pic of what grew in 6 days. I just cleaned it off.
1) So, is the color of this algae just typical of new screens or is this an indicator that my lighting is not powerful enough?
2) Ive been thinking of changing the bulbs over to UVB ones like i have in my turtle tank, b/c the green algae grows great in my turtle tank...do u think this would be a better lighting situation?
Right now I have (2) 13 watt bulbs on (soft white) for 16 hours. What do u think?
