I setup my Phytoplankton growing station last Monday. It's been running with 16 hrs light daily for 6 days now. I check it regularly, but not seeing the color get any darker. Maybe too soon?

Today, just turned the bottles around and saw a lot of buildup on the side getting direct light. Is that normal?

Actually looking at 2 uploaded pictures now color looks lighter. Is phyto dying off?

At inital setup
Salinity 1.020
Used 5 drops of f/2 fertilizer per bottle
