Yea I have a small led on the back right where the cheato isDo you have a fuge light in the sump?
Oh ok. Does it have to be a certain color, I have some really cheap leds I could use for itYea I have a small led on the back right where the cheato is
Honestly I'm pretty sure since cheato is an algea it would do better in a red spectrum of light I'm assuming that's why most fuge lights are dominant in red spectrum. But I just have a 6w led with white 6500k and some actinic blue but just keep it on whites only. Not sure how much growth I'm getting from it it's only been about two weeks. Keep it on a 10 hr timer over night when DT lights are off.Oh ok. Does it have to be a certain color, I have some really cheap leds I could use for it
I've heard both, because I mean cheato is a plant either way and does grow by photosynthesis, which would need darkness. But on the flip said I've heard run it 24/7 so I'm stuck hahaTo minimize co2 I’d keep the fuge on 24/7
U want it to not explode and co2 ur tank right?I've heard both, because I mean cheato is a plant either way and does grow by photosynthesis, which would need darkness. But on the flip said I've heard run it 24/7 so I'm stuck haha
Haha well Im pretty newbish still so whatever I should do I'll do..should I be running the light 24 hours?U want it to not explode and co2 ur tank right?
I run mine 12 hours opposite of DT to maintain PH, and you’re right if you want it to grow it needs a lights out period , plants grow in the darkness after using the nutrients during the day, nice start tho!!
