I have purchase 5 gallon buckets and les strip lights to attach in the bucket for lighting then going to place a 1 gallon water bottle in each of the two buckets with air supply. Ordered 16oz live phyto for culture but it is a 4 species blend link attached. I’ve read conflicting opinions and seeking advice.
So here are my questions
1. is 1.020 a good salinity some say can run at tank salinity which would be easier as I always have 1.026 mixed
2. will a 12’ led from light strip over heat the water in the confines of a 5 gallon bucket
3. Is 8 Oz enough to start a 1 gallon culture
4. Is liquid miracle grow as good as the f/2
5. I’ve read the multi species isn’t good as one will prevail. Can I go ahead and start this culture when it arrives, or should I just use it and reorder two single species starter.
6. If starting fresh which species should I get for the best performance with pods and sps. Going to start a pod culture as well.
Thanks for the assist.
