30 par enough to grow bryopsis?

[a.t.t.r]

I just setup a small tank to grow out bryopsis to feed some slugs. I am getting 30 par where the algae sits. Will this be enough light or do i need to double up?

I am currently using warmer colored led strips wrapped around the small tank.

No, you need to spend 2k on a tank, 800 on a skimmer, 1500 on a controller and parameter monitor, 2k on lighting, and at least 500 on livestock and THEN you can grow a tank full of bryopsis algae. Gobs and gobs of bryopsis. Happy reefing!

I got 1k on my lights and 200 on my skimmer and maybe 1k on live stock in my 20 gallon and the slugs eat it faster then i can grow it.

I have even tried yelling at it telling it I DONT WANT IT but reverse phycology (HAH THIS TYPO ACTUALLY WORKS!) isn't working .



phycology, also called algology, the study of algae, a large heterogeneous group of chiefly aquatic plants ranging in size from microscopic forms to species as large as shrubs or trees. The discipline is of immediate interest to humans because of algae's importance in ecology.
