As long as you follow the old standby rule of feeding what they can eat in X minutes (was that 3 or 5?) then you're fine. Any additional food...
The bubbles are typically a result of oxygen production from photosynthesis, nothing to worry about. The darker reddish patches could be the...
I've been asked many times, it's really a matter of having things set up to do that, and it's kinda low on the priority list. One of the issues...
I'm surprised it hadn't gotten automatically deleted by now
Is your drain pipe submerged? It needs to be submerged by about 1/2" all the time. The drain must be able to act as a full siphon in order to...
Wow - nice!!!
The white algae could be something I refer to as "whiting", seems to be an LED related phenomenon. If that's what it is, it's an indicator of too...
Maybe but I would have only made the jump to 11 or 12. If you jump up too far too fast, you can photosaturate. Go way too far & the whole screen...
Yeah you can let it go to 14 days
Yes, you can pick at the large clumps to thin them out a bit, or scrape them off with fingernails. There might be some firmly attached growth,...

For an 8" wide screen, 8x35 = 280 GPH, I would use a Rio 1400 or equivalent. Once you factor in head loss, that would put you in about the right...
Alsoif you want to get someone's attention (if they are not on the thread, for instance) you can tag users in a post and they will get an alert...
You could go to solid 9 hrs now that the center has filled in. You're looking about right for the 2-3 week point. You're starting to get some...
What I mean is this: is 3900 LPH the maximum flow rating of the pump, or did you physically measure this (with a stopwatch and a container)?...
Welcome the to site Dota! Ok, had to convert...6x20 = 120 sq in, big screen! 120/30 = 4 sq in per LED, so that's on the "high" end of intensity...
possibly, if you can only get them in sets of 5 and you are going to d 5 per side, then to 2 red/blues on one side and 3 red/blues on the other....
If you're going with 4 or 5 per side, I would probably use 2 red/blue and the others all red. If going 3 per side, one red/blue, two all red.
SMD LEDs like that are decent most times, and you would want to go with closer mounting like you plan and still go by the wattage per square inch...
orientation is kind of a wash, if you keep the flow per linear inch the same, then you have either a) more overall flow over a wider area with...
