I have a small piece of chaeto in my sump under a grow light (see pic). The light is about 12” from the surface of the water. The chaeto is noticeably bleaching. I’m not sure if it’s just shocked by the new light and will regrow, or if the lighting is too strong (rated 150W) and it will die? My nitrates are at 15 ppm and I dosed chaeto grow and a small bit of potassiumphosphate to ensure the other nutrients are present, so I don’t think it’s a nutrient issue.
Any advice is appreciated!
