Got it, it was so loud without the air stone, @Projects with Sam had the same suggestion. Lights I am using a 15w nicrew led. Maybe thats not strong enough?Lose the air stone…just run straight tubingneed turbulent water to keep the culture from settling.
lights…8-12 hrs is all you should need…what lights you using?
Water temp…could be a little warmer to help with growth, but it’s not a culture killer.
salinity… I mix mine at about 33 ppm (1.022-3 ish)…
I may try again eventually but frustrated with it right now.
TY for the advice and guidance, appreciate it.
