So i have a small 13.5 gallon nano. Its a fluval evo. I have some softies some lps and some sps.
I bought a few acros to see how they would do and some are doing ok while others browned probably due to lack of light which was expected. HOWEVER, i got a monti cap that was doing really well for about a month, then i up'd my lights and it seemed to lose color and turn a light pink (from red).
The change was this
from ONE prime HD --to--> One prime HD and 2 reg AI Primes
its been 2 weeks since iver taken down the other two lights and am currently running just one ai prime hd at blues 115% for abour 4 hrs and white up at about 25 for 3 hrs then a gradual decline until its off.
Alk is always at 9-10
calc 430-450
phos 0
trate 0
i run gfo and carbon in a reactor and a filter sock
sooo,, is this just not anywhere near enough light? is 3 primes enough? should i get a hydra 26 or what should i do
