Brian Crook Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 How long has your tank been up for? 14 hours could be a little long for the Actinic lighting and may promote algae growth. Maybe not though, that could be debated. Everything else sounds pretty good, but I am still interested how long this system has been up for? Post some pictures of it too if you would like us to critique your setup further. Welcome! Link to comment
