It isn’t excess nitrates, perhaps phosphates or excess light, I recently got a new one and upped the par quite a bit from the old failing one. I don’t think my light schedule is much different though. What should I be looking for for a white light schedule?
If it helps, I have had little to no nutrients for a long time, so odds are it is not much of an issue. Phosphate maybe because it isn’t readable but I suspect it could be the light.
Maxspect razor for a light (wattage unknown). Channel B and C ramping up to 40% from 1 am to 5, A80 B60 C60 D70 by 10 and running until 2, B and C ramping down to 40% by 9:30, lights fully out by 11
That was what was close to what ran on the last light and nothing like this happened. I did up the par from what it was when I started (150 max to about 170 and maybe 200 with a piece that is very close to the top).
Different lights have different wavelengths. I think generally most run close to what I do. 12 hours a day, 5 hours peak, with a ramp up and ramp down. Trying to mimic natural light.
I don't use the same lights. I have kessil. I'll include a pic of my schedule for you though. I think I only have 4 peak hours actually.
I will give the lfs a that I got it from a call and see what they say for a lighting period. Perhaps this thing has been the bane of my existence and not a false reading of or lack of nutrients with a host of other algaes.
