Wow this information is great.
I have increased my co2 to 4bps, diy, - the bubbles enter tank through an air stone get sucked into a submersable pump and sent through the tank very fine. Do you think this is sufficient 80 gallon tank

Lighting is now 2.1 wpg, 4 x 27w -6500k and 3 x 20w - 3000k ( 2 jebo )

I will be getting a lighty meter soon and will test jebo bulbs (hope it will help) i will also test lux/lumens at depth and will send you all data for your use.

Well, I still think your a little crazy, how's that sound?......Crazy genius maybe.

Less light, more nutrients/Co2!!!! That’s nuts!!!!LOL



I did finally get a pressure GLA set-up with Lights and Co2 all on timers and am loving it.

GLA


10lbs


16in reactor


The hobby is turning into growing, clipping, shaping. All I really think about now is what kind of picture do I want to paint.

Again Tom, thanks,

That's where most folks wanna be, but many fall into the traps and never make it, quit the hobby etc.

CO2 and light are the two big keys, master those, then the rest is easy.

Thank me by helping a few other folks. It's the only real way any of us can help repay the efforts of others.
