I just beat LCA. Don't worry about lowering your light hours. I blew the rocks off everyday and dosed silicates for a couple of months. Twice a week, add a Coral snow and Microbacter7 dose after you blow the rocks off.
awesome, this is great to know and see. Sounds like a long process, but worth being patient. Hoping with the few extra steps like phyto and copepods I can’t speed it up a bit
