Hey all, I’m hoping to get some opinions on what I should do…if anything. Reef is 1 year old.
I’m running a 13.5 AIO with an AI Prime. I started with Marco rock. These are my settings.
I feel like my lights are either too strong or are for too long because of algae buildup towards the top of the aquarium on the equipment and the sand. I think my clam’s she’ll shows the extent of it.
Light is 10”above the surface and the tank is 10” deep. I believe my photoperiod may be too long?
That being said, I’m hesitant to make any changes because everything is growing great.
Stock:
If there is one thing I have learned in this hobby it’s to take things slow and DO NOT MESS WITH A GOOD THING.
Should I just stick with my current settings? I don’t want to jack anything up.
