No, Bridgelux form aquastyleonline. I've been extremely happy with them. I have them on all three of my tanks. They have been on my 20 for at least 6 months now, I forget exactly. I also have 14 on my 7.5 gallon cube. I also have a 150w MH on the 40 as well. I only run it for 3 or 4 hours though, just so I can get some of the other spectrums that the LED's I'm running can't provide.

Sorry, I've been away for a little bit. Life and work has kept me busy as of late. As an update, no real changes to the tanks. My protein skimmer did go out a couple of weeks ago and didn't have the money to replace so my algae issue got a little worse. I rebuilt the pump last night and it is running nicely now. I hope everyone is doing well.

I've went to doing 1/2g everyday changes as I seem to be able to keep that schedule easier.
I figured it up as about 1/3 water change in a month. Things seem to be doing really well like that as well.
When the skimmer went out though I did 1g daily.

Still fighting this algae. Not real sure what it is for sure. I'm leaning towards bryopsis. I've cut my light cycle down to 6 hours to help the issue and doing 1 gallon wc's daily. I'm pulling it by hand every day as well. Also dosing Tech M as that supposedly helps with the issue. I'm checking my Mg, Alk, and Ca as well to be sure the dosing isn't throwing any levels off. Because there's no for sure reason why the Tech M has helped in other situations, I'm also checking copper levels as that is one theory of why this works. Any other suggestions to help me along?
