Hello everyone

I have a doubt, I have a refugium for my "triton method" that has a par38 lamp 15W to grow plants and is working fine has grown a lot of chaeto.

I notice that chaeto grows more where light strikes more, and I thought I got another lamp, however I have nitrates 0, and po4 0.00

Is it worth buying another lamp?

regards
 
If your nutrients are at 0, that will end up being the limiting factor. You're probably ok with what you're using now. What are your fuge dimensions?
 
I would say with that size, if you have the light centered, the tank should be getting plenty of light. I'd keep doing what you're doing since it is keeping your nutrients where they need to be.
 
How's your corals color with 0 & 0?
You may need to start dosing Potassium Nitrate and perhaps phosphates to achieve good colors.
 
Thanks for all the answers

The colors are not bad,

This is the look
