Hi,
I use the EI now for 8 weeks and I had very good results in growth since then. Minor brush algae occuring at the beginning but now going away.
Today my new hood arrived, equipped with 4x24W T5 tubes. Before I had 3x18W T8.
The tank is 112l/30gal so I would now have 3.2W/gal.
Is that maybe too much? Will I run into trouble soon? Should I reduce the lighting time? At the moment I use 5hlight / 4hoursbreak / 5hlight.
I think about having 2 tubes only on for 2x3h, I don´t know.
I always wanted to have a tank were poor lighting is not an issue but maybe now I overdid it.
Has anybody any experience that he could share?
After an hour of illumination my tank looks like a shaken soda bottle, it is pearling heavily everywhere, I almost do not see the fish...
Thanks
Robin
