Hello fellow reefers,
TWO QUESTIONS
i. Anyone’s expert opinion on whether or not keeping a plant grow light in the same room as my aquarium is okay?
ii. Also, could this artificial sun be the dominant factor in causing my excess algae growth?
I have a quite young (6 weeks?) fluval evo 13.5 reef tank with 4 different frags, 2 benggai cardinals, LTA, emerald crab, snails.
I ALSO have a forest in my bedroom, in which I use a 6000K 100w grow lamp.
(This one
Blinds closed, my plants only receive “direct” light artificially.
If anyone has experience with my dual hobby situation, I would love to hear from you! Any and all suggestions are much appreciated!
