Its the 100w cf grow lightIt is possible to give chaeto too much light, but what you have in the photo could be fine. Do you know the actual wattage draw for that light? (Not the advertised equivalent wattage that is usually grossly overestimated).
Is that actually 100W draw, read the fine print carefully. The kessil H380 draws about 90W, and if you’re going to have that over a 2 gallon fuge, obviously that’s kinda crazy. I’m skeptical it’s 100W. If it really is, that’s too much light.Its the 100w cf grow light
Well, I think that is what my light is...Look on Amazon for flood bulbs that are pink vegetation grow lights. When i use to grow chaeto, using a pink vegetation grow light made a HUGE difference
BRStv investigates did a large experiment and the pink grow lights WON hands down in every category
Google research what I said
So it would be ok?Chaeto has an exceptionally low compensation point, judging from its morphology (see here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2434129?seq=1. I've never seen any bleaching even when it is exposed to medium light intensity. So, the short answer, the exposed portion might lose some photosynthetic capability but the self-shaded interior should be OK.
Don't over think this please. You and your Chaeto will be fine.So it would be ok?
