Hog .5 Will it fill up?

[shovelhead]

Im running light 20hrs on and 4 off. This is 6 weeks. I cleaned out golf ball size clump at 3 weeks. Should I be doing anything different?

i just won a hog .5, think it might be a bit small, but seems cool.

why dont you run it 24/7? also, what size tank are you running this on?

 

[shovelhead]

60 cube/20L sump. I've read that the algae needs a rest period

Usually, but sometimes you can get away with 24 hours, especially in FW.

Looks good, all the white will fill in after a few cleanings.

I wasnt aware algae needed to rest, learn something new everyday

I'll be the guinea pig just started a drop .2 3 days ago and found out my timer doesn't work so I'm running it 24 hours a day. I'll let you know how it works out

Edit: ps my fuge light stays on 24/7 already

I run the light on my Chaeto 24/7- it's doing very well

Chaeto though, makes its own dark side, because it's so thick.

Wow I'm just amazed sometimes how much a single LED can grow.

thats pretty nice. my hog is on the way, but Im thinking the .5 will be a bit small for the 120DT. might have to upgrade to a bigger unit...but I guess somthing is better than nothing
